Garlic paratha are so easy to make at home yet, i don't understand when some going for a frozen parathas in supermarket. I was craving for mutton keema on one fine thursday and while thinking what to make to go with it, nothing else came to mind than garlic paratha. With my ever ready garlic paste in the fridge making this golden paratha is as simple as that. I used garlic paste, you can use finely chopped garlic as well. The chat masala and cumin powder added into the recepi lends a beautiful aroma and masala flavor to the paratha. Crispy,golden, garlicy paratha to go with my piping hot mutton keema
