Mooli Paratha

 

[pun500]

Mooli Paratha

[Sakss]

plain paratha with desi andaa

 

[Bhaijaan]

 

[attock]

Qeema Paratha are the best................

 

[darkmoon459]

Plain paratha is the King, long with aloo as the runner up.

 

[Inswinger]

A question someone relevant to this thread.

How big (in diameter) is the average Indian roti/paratha? I've seen people eating rotis that look like mini-scale models when compared to an average Pakistani roti.

 

[violet_may]

Just plain and simple paratha for me

There is no standard Indian size man , and surely same must be the case in Pakistan. Varies from home to home. Some of my Aunties make huge Paranthhas, whereas my mom makes decent size ones. I compensate it by eating many of those.

I have alot of Indian friends and all their roti's are small......

May have something to do it with the part of India they originate from as they are all from Gujrat, but their roti's are very small......

 

[Bhaijaan]

^May be it's a Gujrati thing. India's so huge that sometimes Pakistanis seem a lot more familiar than some of my far living Indian brothers Dunno much about all of them.

Paranthas are Punjabi people's darling. We have them a lot, everyday.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Just had Aalu de paranthey

 

[Runner Up]

People who eat Aaloo and Aaloo de prathay that much must be very fat.

 

[Bhaijaan]

^Not really

 

[amirfanforlife]

I absolutely LOVE Gobhi Paratha.

 

[Afridiologist]

Mix paratha, bit of everything

 

[Bhaijaan]

I absolutely LOVE Gobhi Paratha.

I think it is a Gujrati thing because they very rarely have Parathas/roti's and they eat alot of rice.......

I feel like eating a paratha now

Achari Paratha(Pickle Paratha)

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Recently had Saag Aloo paratha, tastes SO good !

Better than Aloo paratha by a mile

 

[shahrukh619]

Tandoori parantha is my favourite

 

[Looney]

[Mamoon]

Aloo paratha.

 

[Invasion 550]

Umm, Rabri Paratha?

Momo, and everyone else, invited to Parathe Wali Gali, Chandi Chowk

More than 60 types of parathas out here, for all kinds of people...

I would love to go here and eat all these 60 parathas. :'D

 

[Invasion 550]

Sunday morning and that means Aloo kei parathayy. Aoojee. zy

 

[CrowingRooster]

Keema paratha is really tasty. The only one i've had from the list and probably would still be my favourite even if i had tried the rest.

 

[Hawk Eye]

Aloo Paratha, hands down.

 

[PTI]

I would love to eat SAAG paratha, its awesome

 

[PakistanKnight]

Mooli Paratha,no one beats it.

 

[PakistanKnight]

Aloo paratha.

And after that the smell of the farts.:aaqib

Same with the Mooli one,my favourite.

 

[Indiafan]

Gujrati rotis are extremely small. Punjabi parathas on the other hand are huge

 

[TM Riddle]

Gobhi one

 

[Aman]

Aloo any day

 

[Supporter of Pak legends]

What kind of question is this? There is absolutely no doubt existent in my mind that the keema aloo paratha remains the greatest type of paratha of them all, with keema aloo itself being my most favourite of salans.

 

[Ims1]

Aloo paratha with pickles & curd in my number 1 .

I like paneer paratha too besides the usual keema,gobhi , mooli, green peas etc .

 

[lilFlip]

I'm a man of simple tastes: Aloo Paratha and Daal chawal is enough for me

 

[Justcrazy]

Very good thread , I am feeling hungry

 

[Haroon786]

Aloo paratha by ease, you can add all the other variations on top.

 

[LooneyReturns]

There is nothing like meetha paratha

 

[Mamoon]

And after that the smell of the farts.:aaqib

Same with the Mooli one,my favourite.

True

 

[Mamoon]

There is nothing like meetha paratha

Its not nice when you have it with egg, curry etc.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Mooli paratha is the winner although aloo and keema are good too.

Gobi paratha is an abomination. It's food for trundlers.

 

[Supporter of Pak legends]

I had never even heard of this mooli paratha that posters have mentioned prior to locating this thread.

Is it simply cooked parsnip with a paratha?

If so, I don't think I would be a major fan of the dish considering I can't imagine myself enjoying mooli much - have only eaten roasted mooli, in Pakistan a few years back, where I wasn't at all overawed by the snack.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Mooli Parathas all the way. Been ages since I had one.

 

[saeedhk]

Have anyone ever had Saag ka paratha?Its great.

 

[PTI]

Have anyone ever had Saag ka paratha?Its great.

Brother I mentioned it as my favourite paratha.
Homemade saag paratha with achar and doodh patti is the best breakfast in the world.
I prefer saag paratha over aloo paratha.

I dislike Gobi as a curry, putting it into a delightful thing like a paratha is a step too far.

 

[thurkeebaba]

this is the best thread I've followed on PP ever

Went for a paratha breakfast this morning after Eid Namaaz --- unfortunately, the place was too busy and they were only serving Poori-Chana today!!

 

[pakistanalltheway]

Qeema paraantha for me .

 

[JaDed]

Gobi, anytime of the day sadly its a paratha not done as per my family taste buds in most restaurants so home gobi parathas.

Aloo is a close second and easiest to order in restaurants.

And yes only tawa not a fan of tandoori parathas eventhough love tandoori rotis.

 

[Thomaskutty]

No option for kerala paratha? It is easily the best flatbread you get in Asia.

Lol I knew you would had said that or any Malayalee , you can specify others in the poll. While I love Kerala paratha I don't think it is as healthy as wheat ones(just my opinion based on my genes).

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

paratha

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Hopefully some indians are aware of this.

Paratha is not roti, must be taxed at 18% GST; Anand Mahindra quips Indians will come up with jugaad

The Karnataka government has ruled differentiating paratha or parota from roti, which are essentially two types of Indian breads, and has clarified that paratha must be taxed at more than triple the GST tax rate on roti.

Yup that's why I kinda bumped the thread, felt hungry after seeing that news lol but let go of politics and just have discussion on food, this should be in BJP ke "success" notes though lol.

I didn't say that because of its origin. I have tried all the parathas that originate in North Indian states and none of them gives you that moist, velvety texture induced dopamine hit you get when you put a curry dipped kerala paratha in your mouth.
Most north indians agree and look down on their local roti/paratha with shame after tasting KP for the first time.

I doubt that to be honest, would not comment on the qualities of a Kerala paratha, but I assume North Indian version is similar to Pakistan's and I never heard anyone looking down on one assuming it's been made with a bit of skill. You also need the right accompaniments to a paratha to get the best of it, so usually some type of pickle or suitable curry.

Aloo paratha for my by the way. Goes particularly well with a lamb curry even if that sounds like overkill.

The Wheat stuffed parathas aren't meat to be had with gravies, its meant to mostly have with butter,malai,curd and maybe a pickle.

Kerala Paratha is great as i said already but its made for gravies, the similar kind if you were looking for wheat ones would be laccha paratha but it will still not go great with peas masala or black channa which is what I have Kerala paratha with being vegetarian but when I was young I had it with chicken gravies as well and it was yum but Kerala paratha in itself isn't a dish(atleast i can't have it standalone), whereas stuffed parathas are..

 

[Swashbuckler]

NOTA, I prefer the Parotta we get down South, whether it is Kerala's Malabar Parotta or the Coin Parotta (smaller in size) in Madurai, multi-layered and yummy. Goes well with veg and non-veg curries, chutney, sauce, lentils. I even have them with milk or just like that.

Malabar Parotta dough looks like cinnamon roll

Finished form


Coin Parotta




There are other variations here in TN, like Kothu (Shredded) Parotta, Chilli Parotta.

Kothu


Chilli


Some of these are also popular in Sri Lanka.

 

[Swashbuckler]

Kothu and Chilli Parotta may look similar in some restaurants but taste is different. OTOH Malabar and Coin have the same taste.

You must be joking lol. We never look down upon home made roti/paratha. I have never heard about your Kerala Paratha. North India's and most of Pakistan's paratha tastes the same and these are the ones that are popular among non indians/pakistanis.

You call these parathas?

 

[Swashbuckler]

Among the North/Pak variations I love Green Peas Paratha and also the Aalu one. Radish smells funny and don't remember trying Cauliflower. Will try them in authentic North eateries if I ever visit Delhi or Punjab.

 

[Swashbuckler]

You call these parathas?

Parotta, try them in some Tamil or Kerala restaurant in Delhi, or wherever you live. Mostly you will get them in morning and evening options, not during lunch.

They are terrible up north, I've had it in Delhi at best is Sarvana Bhavan which too I didn't like.
Its similar to how I hate stuffed parathas and Tandoori roti in Chennai.

I don't know about 'look down' part. But my Northie colleagues are obsessed with this dish. Most in North are quite ignorant about South, so unless they come here they might not know.

these are the ones that are popular among non indians/pakistanis.

I haven't been to other countries to comment on that. But I am sure many in Gulf, Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore would have tried our Parotta. I have even seen Malaysian Parottas in some restaurants here and looks similar to our local varieties.

 

[JaDed]

You call these parathas?

These are mostly meant for gravies similar in Delhi would be Lachha but imagine made from maidha to give you an idea, they are great too but since you and me are more used to Wheat stuffed parathas.

Most of the northies only know about Dosa, Idli, Uttapam, Sambar. This is what most of the south indian restaurants offer here. Not sure about other areas but in my area alone there are 4-5 South Indian restaurants and all of them are always full. You don't get a table easily there.

Also I doubt people here even know about the Parathas you make there otherwise they will try them too.

I think BVB was taken aback by pics of Kothu and Chilli Parotta. How to explain to non-Tamils that we tear up the parottas after making them and then add a whole lot of other ingredients to make completely new dishes?
