Anon Healthy Breakfast - New One

Today morning my Mom who is one hell of a cook (love ya!) created something which was so out of the way and I would not mind having it once a week for breakfast.

I cannot name the dish right now as it has got so many things in it but currently I name it Anon

Ingredients:
1. Bowl full of Chrispy Corn Flakes
2. Honey
3. Dry Fruits (whatever you wish)
4. Olive Oil
5. Hung Curd
6. Kiwi Fruit (1 piece)
7. Banana (1 Piece)
8. Strawberry Crush

It is a multiple process dish:

Part 1:
Pour little Olive Oil in a pan and add Corn Flakes (depending on how much you like it) and then 1 tablespoon of Honey and cook for 2 to 3 mins. And then add dry fruits to it. And let it cool a lil bit.

Part 2:
Cut and peel the fruits (avoid the orange) we took Kiwi and Banana as they are so different and peeled and cut into very small pieces.

Part 3:
Make hung curd, add some sugar and strawberry crush and mix it very well.

Now mixing part: Put the fruit in the bottom of the bowl and spread curd mix over it and top it off with cooked corn flakes. And enjoy.

You shall get the crunchy sweet flavor of the corn flakes, sweetness of curd with strawberry and raw feeling of the fruits. Sorry the photo is not there coz I forgot to click one when I was helping mom cooking it.

Shakhar Paratha - Sugar Paratha

Yes you read it right Sugar/Shakhar Paratha, this is one Paratha which I never say no when Mom ask for it and also it is less hassle for her coz she only has to make Sugar Paratha (Shakar Paratha)

Preparation of Shakhar Paratha/Sugar Paratha :

1. Knead the dough with 1/2 tablespoon oil and sufficient amount of water. The dough should be a little tougher than your average pizza dough.
2. Keep the dough aside for 1/2 an hour.
3. On your kitchen board, sprinkle a little dry flour. Make balls of the dough you had kneaded.
4. Roll one ball at a time into a circle and sprinkle sugar onto it
5. Fold the edges in wards like you do in a dumpling, ensuring that no filling is exposed.
6. Roll this dumpling so that it becomes a proper round again.
7. Very gently roll the ball in to a flat not to thin circle.
8. Heat a skillet to medium temperature. Grease it with oil, then cook both the sides of the Paratha, by flipping it over, so that the sides brown properly.
9. Your Shakhar Paratha is ready to eat.

You can eat it with Tomato Sauce.

Note this stuff can be very very hot from inside so eat it slowly
