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!

Ingredients

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...

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 Plain P...

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...
