Mine had a promising start with breakfast in bed 😍. It was fabulous; a wonderful paratha with berries and Nutella! A paratha looks like a pancake but isn’t. It is originally from India.
The paratha is an important part of a traditional breakfast from the Indian subcontinental. This flatbread is Also popular in Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Maldives and Myanmar.
Traditionally, it is an amalgamation of parat and atta which means layered cooked dough. |It is made using ghee but oil is also used. Some people may even bake it in oven for health reasons. Usually, the paratha is eaten with dollops of white butter on top of it. Side dishes which go very well with paratha are curd,fried eggs, omelette, mutton kheema (ground mutton cooked with vegetables and spices), nihari (a lamb dish), jeera aloo (potatoes lightly fried with cumin seeds), daal, and raita as part of a breakfast meal. It may be stuffed with potatoes, paneer, onions, geema or chilli peppers.
I must admit I don’t make them from scratch. I discovered them in Tesco in the frozen sections and couldn’t resist! So simple to prepare, just need a frying pan and the topping of your choice.
That will do for me, washed down with a steaming mug of earl grey of course!
Looks delicious. I do make flatbreads occasionally, usually with flour, water, olive oil, and yoghurt. I never use specific quantities, so they're always different. Some good, some not so good.
