Maida Parota, Potato and Peas Curry & Onion Salad
This is not any authentic dish of Mysore, but we all love it very much. A weekend dish I can say for us. An awesome threesome combination. These days I am craving for all those dishes which we had stopped making for some unknown reason, perhaps we just forgot it! This is one among them. I remember very well how we eagerly looked forward for a weekend just to relish different dish! Now it is my son's turn and I see the same sparkle in his eyes. No wonder we say 'kaalachakra' what went past us is with our children now :D
Maida Parota :
Ingredients:
Maida/All Purpose Flour - 4 cups
Huli Mosaru/Sour yogurt - 1 cup
Salt
Water
Method :
1. Mix all of them to make a firm dough. Cover and keep for 3-4hrs.
2. Take a small ball size dough and roll it to make a 8cm circle. Apply oil. Be generous. Fold (Chinese fan fold) it to make a cigar. Fold the cigar to make a circle as shown the picture below. Apply oil to its surface and leave it in a container.
3. When you want to serve, flour the surface and roll these rounds to make 10cm diameter circle like chapathis. Fry them on a hot girdle/tava with oil and serve hot. Strictly serve hot, cold parathas taste no good!
4. These days we get frozen stuff, but home made ones taste much better than frozen parathas.
Onion Salad
White Onion : 1 (chopped into fine pieces)
Pepper Powder, Salt and Lemon Juice
Toss everything and serve. Simple yet tasty.
