I followed the recipe exactly, but my aloo parathas didn't turn out as good as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I've tried many aloo paratha recipes, but this one is by far the best. The parathas were golden brown and crispy on the outside, and the filling was perfectly spiced. Will definitely be making this again!
