Even u can have a mincemeat Paratha or cauliflower one also.


Spinach filled Paratha would be tricky, but if u cook Spinach in such a way that the water is all dried, then it will stay inside the Paratha.

Take a packet of spinach from the supermarket, which is already chopped.Otherwise buy fresh spinach, wash and clean, put it in the pot , cover and let it cook ,When it is nicely cooked, put it in the blender, it will become fluffy. Now, in a pot put some oil about 2 tablespoons, add garlic and ginger paste,1 teaspoon each would be enough.Add the spinach, salt, red chilli powder, and if u like add cumin powder and coriander powder and some chopped green chilies.Fry for some minutes and mix well with spices. I think this fluffy spinach will be difficult to keep inside a Paratha, so u can make a Paratha separately, and eat with the Spinach/Palak.


You can make Paratha in oil, like olive oil also. And you can use very little oil also.Its not necessary that you use butter or ghee in the parathas.

Paratha is the traditional roti (chappati) made will butter/ghee sis. Stuffed paratha is made with fillings like boloni.

OMG I have this intense desire to serve you all kinds of parathas I do best and only let you go when you get sick of them and start trying to escape. ;D Oh man.. I wish I could have my own little tea shop that serves nothing but parathas and samosas with desi tea :statisfie

Oh, this little tea shop would be lovely, especially if its all free.

I think nobody would get sick and escape from your Parathas.

Eh I thought you'd come here? I prefer the UK me thinks But trust me if I could make parathas for you, I'd keep trying until I got it just the way you like it. However hold that thought about the tea shop insha Allah. It's definitely worth considering once I'm fit and healthy again insha Allah.

Lol not but I could only eat a spinach one if it's been cooked by myself or my mum, or any Pakistani for that matter.

Here's an Indian recipe for spinach paratha (I might try it). Hope that helps insha Allah

well in my defense the tea didn't come in tea bags my family liked it loose so when it looked a little light when I made it, I kept adding a little of this and a little of that, then a little more of this and a little more of that..

this is how i m make the tea..:hiding: never know how much to add the things in first attempt
actualy i dont drink tea so i just have to go with the color not taste..:hmm:

And Keema parathas? Oh and I even made a cheese n' onion paratha, and a red onion and green chilli paratha. Lol I wish you could taste em now :ermm:

Lol nooo!! :skeleton: Don't listen to your brother. Tell him the roti isn't going to stay round when it goes in his tummy so who cares ^o)

And anyway amoeba's are interesting shapes lol. At this stage just make sure the edges are rolled firmly to make them thin. That way you won't be left with soggy undercooked edges. Oh and don't offer your brother any. Let the smell of them have him begging you for some:coolious:

AAAhh.... now I understand!!
In indonesia we have some type of dish called "nasi kebuli", or "kebuli rice".
I always thought it originated from India or Arab because of the palau rice and/or because many indian/arabs cook them.
Now I know that kebuli = kabuli
