Recently I made daal vada's and some ground chana daal paste was lying in my refrigerator.so I wanted to try some thing different and filling,so I tried these paratha's for breakfast and believe me they turn out to be so delicious that my husband want to have these for dinner also.you can serve these with curd or any thin curry ,but I loved them with just a cup of tea, nothing else is required.
