Aloo Paratha

Happy Pongal!
Wish it were a holiday today.

Family's request to not put rice on the menu especially during dinner time is never an easy prospect, given that we are big time rice eaters. It is not like rice is completely banished, we do eat rice every afternoon. Hence the request of not eating rice during dinner time did not seem entirely unreasonable.

From the time I first tasted of Aloo Paratha this classic dish has been my absolute favorite. In fact it has to be up there in the list of my favorite foods. Give me some aloo parathas and I am in heaven already :) I am glad that it is also a family favorite, even DD the slowest eater in the house finishes it off in record time.

  8. All the same I'd like to see your secret recipe, ISG. One of my New Year's resolutions is to learn to cook more Indian breads (and no, I don't mean dosa -- dismal at those!). Happy Pongal, ISG :)

  9. Kali, yes they are delicious with pickle.

    Linda, you would do fine, dosai is easy breezy compared to making Naan, Roti, chappathi...
