Aloo Paratha
''Aloo paratha'' (Urdu: , Hindi: , Punjabi: ਆਲੂ ਪਰਾਠਾ / آلو پراٹھا, ) is a paratha (flat bread dish) stuffed with potato, originating from the Punjab region of South Asia. It is traditionally eaten for breakfast. It is made using unleavened dough rolled with a mixture of mashed potato and spices (amchur, garam masala) which is cooked on a hot '' tawa'' with butter or ghee. Aloo paratha is usually served with butter, chutney, curd, or Indian pickles. It is also often accompanied with sarson ka saag. Stuffed with potato and fried makes it of higher calorie (290-360 calories) than a typical roti (60 calories). In the 21st century, due to convenience, working routines and rising household incomes, smaller families and time restrictions, the aloo paratha breakfast for urban Indians has been increasingly replaced by foods seen as more convenient such as cereals. A similar pattern has been observed among Central Valley Sikhs in America. See also * List of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Atta Flour
Atta/Ata (Urdu: ; Hindi: , Bengali: আটা, romanized: Āṭā) or chakki atta is a wholemeal wheat flour, originating from the Indian subcontinent, used to make flatbreads such as chapati, roti, naan, paratha and puri. It is the most widespread flour in the Indian subcontinent. Properties Whole common wheat (''Triticum aestivum'') is generally used to make atta; it has high gluten content, which provides elasticity, so dough made out of atta flour is strong and can be rolled into thin sheets. The word ‘whole’ is used to describe atta as it includes every component of the grain, meaning the bran, germ and the endosperm. Atta was traditionally ground in the home on a stone chakki mill. This is useful when using a tandoor, where the flatbread is stuck to the inside of the oven, and also makes chapatis softer as the dough absorbs more water.
