I promised in my first ever blog post that I would put up Indian recipes and I have failed to deliver on that promise. I’m sorry. The only excuse I can offer is that my mum is an excellent Indian cook, and instead of trying to cook something that will inevitably pale in comparison I generally tend to stick to other cuisines that aren’t directly comparable. I’ve realised however that my most favourite, comforting and heartwarming foods are invariably home-cooked Indian dishes, and I’m going to eventually have to learn to cook these meals for myself.
Parathas are a flat-bread that are generally stuffed with potatoes, cauliflower or radish. I made these based on a recipe from Tava Cooking (tava = flat griddle), a cookbook by Tarla Dalal who is India’s answer to Martha Stewart. My mum swears by all of Tarla Dalal’s recipes and I have to say I completely agree with her.
