This paratha is a highly nutritious meal, loaded with various vegetables, lot of filling has been kept inside each paratha, and you do not require any side dish for this. Just a bowl of yogurt is more than sufficient.

Notes
*A small piece of ginger and couple of pods of garlic can be grated and added too, while sauteeing the veggies
* If you do not possess a microwave steamer, you can pressure cook the veggies for one whistle, just to soften them.
