Indian meals are e'er a special process when served alongside homemade apartment breads. One of my favorites are flaky too substantial parathas, a griddle-fried breadstuff oft made alongside whole wheat flour too folded over a few times during the kneading too rolling procedure to exercise a layered breadstuff that puffs during frying. They tend to live somewhat rich, peculiarly if you lot role ghee or butter, equally they are brushed several times during rolling too drizzled alongside butter or oil spell cooking. Sometimes they are stuffed alongside vegetables too chutneys. Whether stuffed or to a greater extent than basic, they are e'er delicious equally a snack or repast accompaniment.
