Crispy Roti - Recipe

A lot of times when you might have made some extra roti which you think are wasted, do not worry nothing will go waste here, coming directly from my mummy and her mummy kitchen is the thing which is known as Crispy Roti.

It was made again today

Well it is very simple, make some extra roti and do not eat them. Next day morning you maybe late for work or too bored to make breakfast and you remember about the roti left from last night. No no do not take out the achar aka pickles. Take out a deep frying pan and pour in oil, cut the roti in 4 pieces like a triangle and in hot oil fry the rotis for some time, till they become dark brown, remove them and put them over a tissue paper. And just sprinkle some salt over it.

And now you can eat them or take them to office to show off to your colleague. Try it with garlic chutney taste is awesome.

Khasiyat - Parathewala

Location of Khasiyat is just brilliant, near the junction of S.V.Road and Link Road, near colleges, on Vile Parle station road. It has being there for years doing just one thing and one thing it knows best serving good parathas at reasonable rates.

I have being going there since school days and I guess the taste has not yet changed, the chole taste the same, the daal makhani taste the same. The decor is almost the same with option of Air Condition and Non Air Condition.

I should not say more about it, just go and try. 

Not Just Parathas - Gurgaon Jewel

Image via WikipediaLocated in heart of Gurgaon near MG Road Metro Station in DT Mall place is known as Not Just Parathas which is specializing in Parathas and other addons.

What I really loved about this place is there are so many things which are different from the regular hotel that one gets confused on what one should eat and what not to eat. Place has Parathas, Kababs, Rotis, meal combos for lunch etc etc.

Three of us decided to try it out and it was brilliant not the service or the attitude of the steward but the food. We ordered Khatta Meetha Paratha, Bhurji Paratha and Lasuni Paneer Paratha all of 6 inches, yes you do get an option to have a small paratha or a bigger 9 inches one. Cost difference is not that much. After quickly munching on our initial course we then got bolder, decided to order Chur Chur Aloo Pyaaz. Let me tell you what it is, they make atleast 2 paratha and then just crush it. Not exactly chur chur but decent enough.
The dish of the day was Dal Kheema which was Mutton Kheema mixed with Dal and cooked together, amazing flavor, not too spicy and tasty. Quantity wise also it was very good.

All in all a good place to try out if you like to eat different kind of parathas.

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
