Paratha Egg Roll

Even the best of the hostel food seems bad when the monotony in their menu gets to you. That was the case with our hostel. We were blessed to have non vegetarian food for every dinner except on Fridays but yet after a point in time we began craving outside food.That is how food from Ande ka Funda, a small food joint near our hostel caught our attention. It was very affordable on our student days allowance and quite tasty too - Egg roll, bread omelette, aloo paratha, gobi paratha were their popular items. I took a liking for their egg rolls which came either as single egg roll or double egg roll. The double egg roll made a good meal!

My paratha egg roll came into being trying to replicate theirs. Its a favorite due to the simplicity of the whole thing! You need not make paratha from scratch, you could always use the store brought ones when you are in a hurry! The same recipe goes well with chapati too! It is my go to recipe when we need a quick dinner!

Ingredients
  1. Plain Paratha - 4 home made or frozen
  2. Egg - 4 large
  3. Onion - 2 big thinly sliced
  4. Pepper powder - 1 tsp ( as per spice quotient)
  5. Kashmiri Red chilli powder - 1 tsp
  6. Vinegar - 2- 3 tbsp
  7. Coriander leaves  - 4 tbsp finely chopped
  8. Ghee for the paratha
  9. Tomato sauce - 4 tbsp
  10. Salt to taste
Method
  • Slice the onions lengthwise very thinly. Add chilly powder salt and vinegar. Mix this with your hands gently crushing the onions. Let this sit for 15 minutes before draining off an excess liquid. Mix in the corriander leaves.
  • Cook all the parathas on a hot tawa greasing them with ghee.
  • It is one egg for one paratha. So break open one egg at a time into the bowl. Add salt and pepper as need and beat the egg well.
  • Pour this egg mixture into a warm tawa keeping the flame on medium low. 
  • Place a paratha on top of this. Give it a minute to cook before flipping it over to the other side. The egg may slightly spill over the perimeter of the paratha but that is fine.
  • Transfer this to a plate. Spread a tablespoon of sauce on the paratha. Place the onions along the length on one side. Roll this into a cylindrical shape and cover using aluminium foil or butter paper. 
  • Repeat this with all the parathas. It is good to eat as is or using a mint dip to go along. Ideal evening snack to beat the hunger pangs.

Traversing the Deutschland-Frankfurt on foot

No better way to explore a new place than on foot - soaking in the ethereal rays of the sun and the gentle breeze setting the tone for the late afternoon, we set out to explore the pristine town of Frankfurt along River Main. Half a day in Frankfurt was all we had, nevertheless, we managed to comfortably traverse the city and all we wanted to see and do in 6 hours. Given that we visited Frankfurt in the end of April, the weather ranged from 6 to 20 degree, warm clothing is always recommended. Setting out from the B&B Hotel in Frankfurt, we headed in the direction of the river. A city along the banks of a river, gives the place a special charm, atleast that what I think! Every travel brings about new revelations. I come from a place where there is no dearth for sunlight and hence, probably do not value it enough and here I was at a place where the glorious sun presents itself in its full glory once a while. The green pastures along the banks of the river had people sleeping shirtles...

Thukpa - Noodle Soup

I had never heard of this dish until a year before, when I had it for the first time from a small Tibetan restaurant in Viveknagar, Bangalore and more recently heard of it on Roti, Rasta aur India's Ladakh leg of the show. My husband spoke highly of Thukpa. This is what he had to say - light yet a wholesome meal, wonderful for cold and fever.  I can't agree better.  It is definitely light but quite filling and what more -it is the best and delicious way to consume the healthy vegetables which you might normally loathe. For all the mothers, it may be a really good way to get your kids to eat some vegetables. My husband swears on the health benefits of the soup. Apparently, he used to have thukpa when he was down with cold and it gave him a lot of relief as the soup found its way down the throat through the food pipe clearing the throat. I have always brought packets of Knor or Maggie soup but never attempted to make one. That is when I thought about beginning my ...

Rava Uthappam

Quite a few friends have requested for some vegetarian recipes to be posted in my blog else they say they would  " unlike" the page on facebook :) I have been trying to recollect the vegan recipe that I love the most and that is when Rava Uthappam clicked! A quick uthappam recipe that does not require the batter to stand over night. So here goes the history. This recipe dates to those days when I had just moved out of college into corporate life. A few of us classmates moved in together after college beginning to bask in the glory of the newly found financial independence. After a hectic day at work, we would gather in the kitchen to cook ourselves a decent dinner. All we had was three or four utensils, an over packed small refrigerator shared by nine maybe ten of us, a double burner stove(one burner which hardly worked) and our inadequate cooking skills. We were always on the lookout for simple and quick recipes. None of us had the time or the energy for elabo...
