ALOO PARATHA (POTATO STUFFED FLATBREAD)

Paratha is a popular Indian flat bread using whole wheat flour (atta) or plain flour. You can either prepare them plain or with stuffing. The most common stuffing is using potato.

Care should be taken when adding the water for the dough, do it a little at a time. When rolling Aloo Paratha  make sure you added sufficient flour to avoiding sticking. Since my sons love spicy food, I've added the chili powder for the filling if not you can omit them.

PARATHA ROLL

Prepared this  Paratha Roll  for our dinner and well received by my family members. This healthy flat bread consists of two parts, the filling and the bread.First you have to prepare the filling and let it cool before you proceed.

Next to mix up the dough and leave for 30 minutes. Roll out the dough  into round shape, fry on flat pan with little oil. Once it is fried, put the filling at one end then roll up. It is best  eaten hot. Add more green chili or chili powder according to your preference.

It is not necessarily be spicy, feel free to adapt to your taste, even by spreading nutella or jam will taste great.

NAAN

Naan is a popular Indian flat bread cooked using 'tandoor' or clay oven. It is easily obtainable from North Indian restaurant almost all countries around the world.

It is made using plain flour, dry yeast and yogurt then left to ferment for several hours before baking them.

However, you could prepare your own using the oven. But now I'm using flat pan to cook them. In fact you can make very good naan from white bread dough or pizza recipe. Besides spicy gravy, you can also serve them with soups or dips.
