Layered Parotta Recipe - Crispy Parotta Recipe

Paratha is usually called as parotta where I grew up. Its near to virudhunagar, where yennai parotta (Deep fried paratha) is famous. At my place, soft parotta serves with veg or non veg salna, it will be so nice to have on a rainy day. The Parottta they make is entirely different there are so many methods in doing that,they will just throw the dough in air to make it thin, at home I am not practiced like that. This recipe is my own version of create shortcut of parotta flakes.

Ingredients

All Purpose Flour / Maida - 3 cups
Rice flour - 2 tbsp
Oil - 2 tbsp
Eggs - 2
Water as needed
Salt as per taste

To make dough

Take maida and rice flour in a wide mixing bowl/ cake mixer machine.
Add salt, eggs, water and oil.
Add water and start mixing the flour.

Let the dough rest for 1 - 2 hrs.
After 2 hrs, you feel the dough with soft texture.

To make parotta

Take a small portion of dough, roll it thin. Apply oil over it.
Cut it into thin strips. Gather it together and roll it. Spread it evenly.
Roll it to 5 to 6 inch circle.
Roll more parotta before fry it on dosa pan.
Gently put parotta on hot pan.
Flip and fry for a minute, and brush some oil on second side too.

Hello friends!

Successful 1 week stay at home. How are you? I hope you all safe. Last week was so crazy because my husband started work from home with his regular busy meeting calls and my kid has online school who eats my time from 7 am to 2 pm. I literally didn't have time to cook breakfast and lunch. This week I tried to work out things at my best. As a mom without planner it never worked specially for me. I created one simple planner for locked down activities.

Walking

Walking doesn't mean that walk in the park. Take a small walk for 1 hour just on your front yard and backyard. Allow kids to do cycling or biking around your house.

Gardening work

Gardening is the best way to keep you and your family busy both mentally and physically. We are at the end of winter, hope its right time to start gardening works at indoors or outdoors. In case you garden still snow covered, this is not so early to start sow the seeds. Earth day is nearing try to do some gardening work with kids, teach kids how to grow from seeds to plants. Ask them to track plants growth everyday. Even you lives in apartment home dont give up the gardening plan try to work with kitchen gardening.

Family Games

Play at least an hour with your family before bedtime. Board games are a great way for families to connect and could be a great fun. This allows you to bond with your children and spend quality time with them.

Hobby

Give a new life to your hobby. So many stuffs we learnt on past years but not doing on present, open the boxes from garage and start working. My interest always crafting, currently I am obsessed with crocheting. It might be hard to sit and concentrate after ages, but now I have plans to make some home decor using crocheting.

Be Positive Person

Sharing positivity in this perplexing time. Approach everything with positive approach. Its hard but show positive energy with family so that everyone at family stays strong, don't make them to feel prison-ed or bored. In the past 10 days, I got clear idea what my kid learning at school, how I should channel his energy towards positive side. I got idea how much stress my husband overcome from his work, this helps me to understand how to I support him for work life balance. Life is all about learning, taken this locked down times as opportunity for many micro things abut my family.

Try to eat breakfast and dinners together. Be positive person and spread positivity.

Stay safe 👍

Lotus root contains a package of benefits like low calorie and high fiber content. Also contains the minerals potassium, phosphorous, copper, iron, and manganese, as well as thiamin, pantothenic acid, zinc, vitamin B6, vitamin C. Lotus root available from chinese stores anytime, we can cook sambar, fry, gravy, kootu anything as you wish. Today I'm sharing the poriyal recipe which goes best with dal rice, curd rice.
