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.

TOMATO RICE

There are so many ways to prepare this  Tomato Rice but this turns out great. I'm using long grain rice but you can also use basmati rice. If you're using basmati rice, do soak the grain for 20 minutes then drain. Basmati rice produces perfect rice all the time, it has special aroma.

It is highly recommended to use rice cooker for cooking this dish in order to avoid sticking to the bottom if not just use ordinary pot but once the water evaporates you must use the lowest flame to continue cooking the rice until it is done.

CHICKEN PIRALAN

This is quite an interesting recipe, the method of preparation is quite different from the normal one. The chicken is first marinated then slowly simmered with spices until almost dry. They are later added to the onion to complete the cooking process.

Chicken Piralan turns our excellent but I have added more water since extra gravy was needed. In fact this dish is quite thick and dry. Best served with hot steaming rice or roti. Kindly adjust the chili powder used according to your preference..

BREAD PUDDING

Bread pudding is a great way to use your leftover bread into delicious and easy dessert. You can use either white bread or sturdy french bread works well too.

Some recipe calls for soaking the bread for several hours but now I have soaked mine for only 30 minutes. It is a satisfying comfort food that most people crave. Nothing beats warm bread pudding on a cold night.

APPLE ROLLS

A sweet breakfast treat your family will enjoy.  Apple Rolls are also a great way to use your apples. It's absolutely delicious and the nice aroma filled your entire kitchen when you're baking is really fantastic.I  halved the recipe. It had sweet and sour taste came from the apple.
