Green Peas and Sweet Corn Parathas

There are some days, when I just don't feel like preparing elaborate meals, but am still looking for something wholesome and filling. Parathas are my perfect answer to such moments. With a stuffing of your choice, the humble paratha can be personalised and made fancy to suit your liking. Though Alu Paratha has been an all time favorite at home, every other Parathas that have been tried till date, have been a success. Here is my latest experiment with the Paratha family with green peas and sweet corn. Takes only half an hour to prepare and even less to devour :)
