In another compartment, add kaju katli, a popular Indian sweet made from cashew nuts, sugar, ghee, and cardamom.
And now… on to the main course. Thaw your frozen parathas to make delicious paratha rolls. Load them up with your kids’ favorite protein, veggies, and sauces.
Slice them into 2 small halves, secure them with toothpicks, and pack tightly.
