A distant cousin of aloo paratha it is.. Definitely filling and the filling would be flavorful with spring onion and pepper.

This afgani bolani , a cousin of our own aloo paratha, is definitely looking droolicious. Addition of onion greens must have imparted a unique flavor.
A question before I make this. Are the green chillies supposed to be hot or not?
