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!

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...

Ginger Cookies

It is winter, it is Christmas and baking just happens this season! Listening to the carols, there I went baking again. My mind began wandering to 'Long time ago in Bethlehem', In the 'Silent Night' I envisioned 'Hark the herald, angels sing'. The bright stars guiding ' We three Kings of Orient are' Led them to the place where ' Mary's boy child Jesus Christ ' lay. ' O Come All Ye Faithful' and spread the word. 'Go tell it on the mountain' and spread 'Joy to the world' . It is a 'Merry Merry Merry Christmas' And 'Santa Claus is coming to town ' 'Dashing through the snow' here he is With 'Rudolf the red nose reindeer' by his side and 'Frosty the snowman' to welcome him I 'Decked my halls with boughs of Holly' , and keep dreaming about a 'White Christmas'. Looks like an overdose of carols!! Oh Never mind, like Shibin sa...
