Paratha is a quick and healthy option for lunch box on a busy day if you do not have enough time to prepare a separate breakfast and a side dish. If you are familiar rolling the parathas, you can make it with any stuffing inside. I add whatever veggies I find in my kitchen for the stuffing. You can even do this with the rice, just add all the veggies along with the rice and cook! but do not compromise on the taste :). Gobi Parathas are always healthy, adding cheese makes it even more tastier and kids will like it. Addition of onions makes it crispy, you can skip if you do not like.
