[…] plating, but don’t just look – cook! Keep carbs firmly on the menu, and say hello to aloo parathas, mini masala dosa, and masala pooris served alongside heaping helpings of Gujarati potato-cashew […]

We had a cook for many years who did what only my mum can do: get an amazing amount of even filling in the paratha so that it is thick with stuffing and dough is really thin!

One thing I have always noticed in all recipes – both books and internet- is that the rolled out paratha is put straight away into heated oil. Whereas in I have always been taught to cook the paratha like a chapati (no oil) and once it is beginning to get the brown spots on the second side, to then add oil to shallow fry it. This way, the paratha does not absorb so much oil and it really crispy.

You have covered the flavours pretty well, I can only think of paratha that is made by making the dough using left over moongi-masur dal and some chopped onions. Then carry on as for plain parathas. Very tasty!!

In reply to Maeve Heneke. Maeve, thanks for your comment. The paratha should be between 1/2cm in thickness - apologies for my typo. Hope this helps – enjoy!
