Notes
Instead of Amchur powder (raw mango powder), you can use juice of half a lemon.
You can skip adding onions and the filling still tastes good.
You can use a 1:1 ratio of wheat flour & all-purpose flour (maida) to make the paratha crispy.
You can skip adding potatoes and make the paratha only using cauliflower too.
Instead of oil, you can use ghee or butter which enhances the flavour of this aloo gobi paratha.
