October 5, 2012 By Sangeetha Priya 7 Comments

Lettuce Paratha? It was new for me unless I made it sudden for our guest. One week ahead I invited our bachelor family friend to dinner, totally forget that and involved in my experiments No bake parle G cake and Left over bread cookies that day. He called n reminded 30 mins before coming home. Stumped for a minute, don’t know what to do and checked what’s there in the fridge. Salad lettuce was there, so quickly I made this paratha and onion raitha before he reached home…Surprisingly it came out well, the other day I mixed some left over spring roll stuffs with lettuce, really it enhanced the first attempt lettuce paratha taste. Very healthy recipe for kids, also good for all age groups…
