Gur ka Paratha / Jaggery Sweet Paratha

Gur Paratha is a unique North Indian Punjabi recipe. This main dish can be preferred on several occasions. The main ingredients in this dish are jaggery (also known as gur) and wheat flour. Jaggery is rich in sucrose which helps in providing energy to the body. To make it special, green cardamon and crushed peanuts or almonds can be added.
