TIP: Quick Parathas

How about some quick parathas when you are feeling lazy. This tip talks about using puff-pastry or bladerdeeg (in Dutch) as a paratha. Bladerdeeg is available in all the superstores in the frozen section. There are several brands available and this generally comes in 2 varieties in packs of 10:

1. Normal
2. Met 100% Echte Boter (With 100% Real Butter)

Check out both and decide on whichever suits you better. A word of caution - Bladerdeeg is full of butter and is not for the diet conscious folks.


To make bladerdeeg parathas, roast it in a pan on medium flame. Roast both sides. Each bladerdeeg may take around 4-5 minutes till done. It tastes much like the frozen parathas that you get in some Indian super stores. The advantages of this however are:

• Less expensive
• Readily available

Give it a try and let me know how you like it.
