Kids love aloo parantha but might not like the idea of soy parantha. So mixing the granules gives required protein,texture ,fibre alongwith the carbs and yummy taste from the potatoes. Good for lunchbox or great as an afterschool snack .This recipe was a result of my need to give valuable protein to my kids which is not otherwise easily available for us vegetarians. And my boys 9 and 4 loved it and were pleasantly surprised when i said that it contained soy .
