Egg Paratha

-
Egg Paratha is a famous street food in Northen India and to be even more specific Delhi & Noida. I first tasted it during late night dine outs with my office colleagues. First I was superised, how did the guy managed to stuff raw egg onto a paratha, then I went and stood next to him to see the whole thing live.
Since then I have been preparing this recipe and its real quick and yummy.


Ingredients:

  1. Wheat Flour: 2 cup
  2. Warm Water: 1/2 cup
  3. Salt: 1/2 tsp
  4. oil: 4tsp
  5. Egg: 1 for each paratha
  6. Onion: 1 medium finely chopped
  7. Green Chili: 2-4 finely choped
  8. Tomato: 1 small finely chopped
  9. Cilantro: finely chopped as required
  10. Salt: as per taste

Procedure:
To prepare the dough mix wheat flour with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 oil and using warm water knead it into a soft dough.
Beat the eggs along with chopped onion, green chili, tomato, cilantro and salt.
Take a medium size ball of dough and roll into a thick circle. Brush little oil and fold into half. brush some more oil and fold it into a quarter.







Roll it further into a triangle.
heat a Tava and place the paratha on it.




Flip the partha after few minutes, when  tiny bubbles rise on the surface. Wait for 20-30 secs until it starts to puff up. With a small knife open the top layer of the triangle to form a pocket.
Pour in 1 egg worth of mixture into the pocket  and close it.
Reduce the heat and cook for 10-20 seconds and gently flip over. Add few drops of oil and cook for few more seconds and flip again and add few more drops of oil. Cook pressing slightly till the `egg is cooked through.

Chicken Biryani in Rice cooker

I bought a new rice cooker few days back and since then haven't stopped experimenting on it. I used to think its just for cooking rice or steaming meat and veggies. I went through the whole recipe book that came along with it but ended with nothing. It has great recipes but they are not exactly what we prefer to eat. So I did a little research on my own. I have always made biryani the same way layering the half cooked chicken and half cooked rice and cook it over the heater in a cover pot. But most of the time I ended up with a small of portion of the masala, chicken and rice burning .So would go to a restaurant and eat briyani rather than going through all the trouble. After buying the rice cooker I decided to give chicken biryani one more shot in the rice cooker. I thought what the heck it can't be any worst :) And I am glad that I tried. It turned out amazing. It had every thing one looks for in a good biryani, aroma, flavor and juicy chicken. So here we go... Ingredients: C

The unripe green papaya can be eaten cooked, usually in curries, salads, and stews. Green papaya is used in Southeast Asian cooking, both raw and cooked.  Papaya fruit is a rich source of nutrients such as provitamin A carotenoids, vitamin C, B vitamins, lycopene, dietary minerals and dietary fibre.  Back at my mom's place we had a big garden where she used to grow all types of vegetables, Papaya, Banana, Tomato, green chillies and the list go on and on. If you have ever grown a papaya you know its like never ending fruits and there is always so much you can eat. Mostly my Mom would pick them before they are ripe and use them in santula or dalma. Here I am sharing the santula recipe that uses green papaya. Ingredients: Papaya: 1 medium cut in small cubes Potato: 1 small cut into cubes. Cumin seeds: 1tsp Green Chilli: 1-2 cut length wise. Tomato: 1 small cut into cubes. Turmeric Powder: 1 tsp Roasted cumin and red cilli Powder: 1 tsp (Look for the recipe in t
