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...

Kashmiri Pulao

Just like the place, Kashmiri Cuisine can also leave you spellbound. While generally known for the rich lamb dishes, Kashmiris pride in their vegetarian delicacies like the Kashmiri Dum Aloo, Kashmiri Rajma and the Lotus stem curry. One such cuisine that is very popular and eaten with equal frenzy across the country is Kashmiri Pulao. What makes Kashmiri Pulao different from the rest is the use of dried fruits and fresh fruits in addition to the vegetables cooked in milk and saffron. Raitha alone is an excellent accompaniment or you may chose to have this with any gravy. It took me two years after my visit to Kashmir to finally try this out and I was lucky enough the very first time. The flavor filled aroma was more than what I could possibly ask for. There you go - Ingredients Basmati Rice - 1 cup Milk - 1 cup Water - 1 cup Saffron Strands - 3-4 Cardamom - 3 Cinnamon - 2 inch stick Cloves - 3 Pepper Corns Cumin seeds Bay leaf - 2 Mint Leaves - 5-6 Gi...
