  In this dish, the papad, which is often served as an appetizer or as a dessert, is stuffed within a paratha. A paratha is packed with crushed masala papad to give it a crispy texture.

Onion Paratha, Onion Roti, or Pyaz ka Paratha

Image
  Am running this week's blogging marathon with a theme of using one vegetable in different ways. Since I didn't want to fall behind, I made three different dishes with my favorite vegetable, onions. Yes, this week I chose onion as my vegetable. When I cook, onions are a must. If I don't have enough onions at home, I feel like I'm missing something. Yes, I could not live without tomatoes and onions. I can easily make many different dishes with just these two vegetables. So, I couldn't think of a better main vegetable for this week's theme than onions. Onions are very healthy and have a lot of flavors, whether they are raw or cooked. Raw onions have more organic Sulphur compounds, while onions that have been boiled are a good source of fiber and copper. It was found that people who eat the most onions have the lowest rates of cancer. Onions also help lower blood sugar. Onions are good for your health and nutrition in many ways. Coming to my recipe for today, thes...

Indian Sweets and Snacks, Simply the Best!

Image
Sweets have their own meanings and connotations. Hours of preparation, lots of interesting ingredients, and the work involved in making them make them delicious and make you feel good. Indian sweets have been influenced by other cuisines of the world, especially those of Southeast Asia, although they vary slightly from city to city. Surprisingly, sweets are only a small part of the overall picture. Indian sweets and vegetarian snacks are more than just tasty, flavorful, and savory. There can be no good news without sweets. Sweets are an integral part of festivals, ceremonies, and celebrations. Sweets, therefore, represent prosperity, happiness, and love. For example, buying sweets with the elderly at an established local sweet store is a pleasant and elegant way to remember one's childhood. Sweets are always kept in the home and many families serve them to guests or eat them after lunch or dinner. There are countless varieties of traditional sweets, each with a different taste a...

How to Make Frozen Paratha At Home

Image
This frozen paratha is a lifesaver when you want a good meal but don't have time to cook. Homemade frozen paratha (fried tortilla) is much more nutritious and environmentally friendly than store-bought tortillas. It tastes just like real paratha (too bad about the packaged paratha). You don't have to spend all day in the kitchen rolling and freezing parathas. You can use the leftover roti/chapati dough every night and freeze the paratha. Every time I eat more atta, I roll 1 or 2 parathas and before you know it, in a month you have a stack of 30-40 fresh homemade parathas in front of you! That's a lot, by the way. Also great if you want to cook for Ramzan. FAQ. Can I freeze already-cooked paratha? Ready-made paratha does not usually keep well in the freezer. Unfortunately, I have to say no. Are frozen parathas safe? Commercial parathas are usually made from the same dough as puff pastry. This is because parathas need a lot of fat and oil to be soft on the inside ...

The History of Paratha Breakfast

Image
It is believed that there is at least one tortilla frequently consumed in every country. Many are very popular around the world, such as the Greek pita, Italian focaccia, and tortillas in many Latin American countries. In India, there are many tortillas with unique textures and flavors. In this article, we look at paratha, its history, preparation, and popularity in the subcontinent and beyond. Paratha is also spelled Parantha, Parontai, and Prontha, with regional differences, but all refer to the same patty. The word paratha is a combination of the Urdu word parat, meaning layer, and the Hindi word atta, meaning flour or dough. Paratha is made from atta flour (wheat flour) and when making paratha without filling, the dough is constantly coated with ghee (clarified butter), similar to the way cream puffs are made. Once the layers are formed, the dough is rolled into a regular circle (other geometric shapes are rare), baked in a disc-shaped pan (tawa), and then fried in oil. Finally...

Do You Deliver Food For Free? Really?

Image
  As a mom, musician, full-time employee and store owner, it's hard for me to sacrifice my precious time to shop. One of my most important errands is the weekly trip to the supermarket. I load the kids into the SUV, drive to the nearest or cheapest store (usually another one) and drag them through the store. The kids and I are tired, the kids are playing with the egg cartons or I immediately want a drink or a cookie from the package! and I almost lose my temper when they ask for it. And I can't focus on buying good stuff if I have to argue with my three-year-old about how many cookies he can eat or if bread is a toy. That's why I always spend more on food than I should. It breaks my heart, especially when I see those beautifully packaged and very tempting Oreo cookies when I am more tired than the kids. There are better ways to do it than to do this. After all, it's a waste of money, it's not fun, and if they do it, I can do all sorts of other things in the mean...
