Meetha paratha recipe

Sugar paratha or meetha paratha or meethi chapati is a very easy sweet dish which can be made in very few minutes and without any prior preparation.

For me meetha paratha has always been a savior whenever any of my family members say kuch meetha ho jaye and I have nothing in hand. Same as the other stuffed parathas this meetha paratha is also a stuffed one but with sugar filling. I also add in a dash of cinnamon powder to enhance its flavor and taste. But it is completely optional, you can skip it.

Tips:

Cook on medium to low flame to avoid burning of the paratha.

Add sugar as per your taste.

Do not roll the paratha very thin else the paratha would break and the sugar would come out and get caramelized or even burnt.
