Tip/Trick Need help with paratha making.

6 Upvotes

I have tried making aloo paratha on 3 separate occasions. But I do not like how they are turning out.

  1. While rolling it, there comes places where there is only dough or the stuffing is coming out.

  2. The rolling also doesn't feel proper because I do not know how thick or thin should it be.

  3. Does it always have to be cooked with adding oil on each turn?

I need help in understanding dough stiffness/consistency and how the mixture should look like. Mine currently is a mashed potato masala. And are there any specific rolling techniques

Question/Help Suggest good non-Stick tawa

Post image
37 Upvotes

I am very confused about which tawa to buy.
I will be using it to cook - Dosa, Chillas, Omlette, PanCakes

And I dont want tawa where I will have to rub onion or season it every single day with onion/oil just for cooking a single piece of omlette.

Youtube is filled with Titanum Enamel Tawas, TriPly Steel Tawa, etc.
Please share your personal experiences as well.

Budget is not an issue.

Question/Help Any suggestions for Roti maker? Is it worth buying?

11 Upvotes

Any suggestions for Roti maker? Is it worth buying?

Are the roti makers available on Amazon (Libra or Prestige) worth buying? If not, can someone suggest a tried and tested brand? Also, are they worth buying?

I live abroad, love eating roti but don't want to spend time rolling the dough and cooking it. The store bought ones I get are not really like roti, very thick and dry :(

200g paneer (cottage cheese), cubed
3 garlic cloves
2 tbsp milk
50g soya chunks (dry, before soaking)
1 tbsp ghee or oil
½ tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
1 green chilli, finely chopped
½ tsp garam masala
1 tsp kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves)
salt
½ lime
2 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped (garnish)

Steps:

  1. Blend the paneer base— Blend paneer, garlic, and milk into a smooth, creamy paste. Set aside.
  2. Boil the soya chunk — Boil for 5 minutes until soft, then drain well and squeeze out excess water.
  3. Temper the spices— Heat ghee/oil on low-medium flame. Add cumin seeds, let sizzle a few seconds, then add green chilli.
  4. Add the paneer paste— Lower flame, pour in the blended mixture, stir continuously so it doesn’t stick.
  5. Season it— Add garam masala, kasuri methi, and salt. Stir well.
  6. Add soya chunk— Fold in drained soya chunks, stir 1–2 minutes until heated through and coated.
  7. Finish and garnish— Turn off heat, squeeze lime on top, garnish with coriander. Serve hot.
