Stuffed Egg Paratha

Holla!

Back after a break - not a deliberate one though! Life suddenly changed from being a housewife to a corporate housewife! After a hiatus, I am back at work that left me little or no time for anything else. It took a while to set things in order and get back into this world of blogging.

So here I am with a new recipe - Stuffed egg paratha!

Wheat Flour - 2 cups + more for dusting
Warm water - 1 and 1/4 cup

Coriander leaves - a handful finely chopped
Turmeric powder - 1 to 2 pinch
Coriander powder - 1 tsp
Kashmiri chilli powder - 1/2 tsp
Garam Masala - 1 tsp
Salt to taste

Method

Making the paratha

Take wheat flour in a bowl along with salt and mix well.
Pour warm water in batches and using a fork mix it well.Let it remain for 5 minutes.
Knead the dough using your hands till it holds together perfectly.It should not be sticky but smooth and elastic.
Grease your hands with ghee, apply this over the dough and place the dough in an air tight container for at least 20 minutes before rolling.

Making the dough

Hard boil the eggs, remove the shells.
Halve the eggs and separate egg whites and yolk.
Finely chop the egg white and crumble the yolk with your hands.
Take chopped onion, green chilly, corriander leaves, all the masala along with salt in a bowl and give a good mix. Finally add the egg white and yolk. Toss them well.

How to stuff the paratha

Divide the dough into 10 equal parts.
Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into thin circles. Dust as needed.
Place 3 to 4 tablespoon of filling on one of the circles. Spread it out leaving a space about 2 cms on the sides.
Smear ghee over the sides and place another circle over this. Press the edges to seal them off well.
Roll it to flatten it.
Place on a hot tawa and cook on both the sides until cooked through.
Take off the flame and smear ghee on both the sides.
Serve it hot with pickle!

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

A perfect thriller makes my day and night too! A good book in hand and the literature within the levels of my understanding, then I have the potential of forgetting just about every thing around me - you will see me in the company of the book in the kitchen too. I may burn a chapatti or two in the go. I spent a major chunk of my single days immersed in such books and I had a perfect roommate for company. Our love for thrillers and mystery extended to television shows as well - Savdhaan India on Life Ok and Crime Patrol on Sony TV were hot favorites. Both these shows end with the charming hosts signing off saying - Be Cautious!! Our cautiousness extended to a level were both of us doubted everything we saw and heard. So negative was the impact that we decided to stop watching these series and stick to books which were more of fictitious work than reality. My married days are no better - both of us love the same kind of book and we had membership in the same chain of library - Jus

I do have the habit of omitting certain words or sentences when I read up on something. Be it book, article or a recipe, which is probably why I finish reading quite fast. Pick up a book and if it really interests me - I could finish it in under a day but then, there is a catch to it - in my hurry to reach the fag bottom of the book - I miss names of certain characters, places and trust me at times even events that unfold. As the book progresses, if a reference is made to the part I unknowingly omitted (God forbid that happen), I am at total loss. Now, my husband knows why I finish reading books in half the time he takes! I wouldn't say this is a great habit of mine because as the saying goes Half knowledge is dangerous . I have got into my own trouble with this. That set aside, when it comes to reading recipes I have had my good days and bad days. Good ones are when despite not following the recipe word by word - I end up with a recipe I created and the taste delights and
