Stuffed Aloo Paratha

i took pic while making it coz no one seems to believe that i am actually cooking all this :-(

I remember the first time i made chappati ,July 19th 2006 ..
My youngest sis told my MIL that i'm an expert cook , i'm a poori specialist ..
I dint even know what flour to use let alone making pooris...
To my wonder my first roti did come out pretty well...
I remember how anxious i was ... How many times i turned the roti lest it should get burnt .
How happy i was to see the roti puffing up ....

I guess everyone had such momemts ..

After all first time is always special ;-)
