Enjoy..................................................................

• While kneading the batter don't add too much of water the moisture in the tomato puree is enough to make a soft dough,if it is not enough sprinkle little water.
• Instead of tomato,you can puree the spinach or coriander leaves to make a green colored paratha.
• Here I used cheese grater to grate the carrot very fine.
