Achari Paratha | Pickled Paratha || How to make achari paratha with step-by-step photos...

Achari Paratha is a delicious, tangy, and relish breakfast recipe that is made with fine flour, semolina, pickle masala, and some basic spices along with coriander leaves and chilies.

Paratha is a common menu for breakfast, lunch, or dinner in every Pakistani kitchen and especially in the Punjab region.

There are huge varieties of or a number of parathas. Just cook the paratha and serve it along with tea, coffee, or yogurt.

As I promised in my previous posts, I am going to start sharing cooking videos on my blog as well, so today you will get the Kheer video recipe with this.  

                           

The actual reason for making achari paratha was inspired by inspiration from Mateen Food Center. a most renowned local restaurant in Karachi.  Once I visited there, where I had achari paratha for the first time with doodh patti. the most amazing taste with a bit of tangy flavor. Since then, I made a plan to make paratha at home.

Though the taste wasn’t the same substantially, I could achieve the same taste.

 

For the best result, follow my detailed step-by-step photo, instructions, and tips above the recipe card.

                   

Recipe note:

Flour: I have used fine flour. If youdon’tt available f,  then all-purpose flour can be used instead of fine flour.

 

Semolina: Adding semolina brings crispiness to paratha. You can also skip this ingredient if you require soft paratha.

 

Pickle: using a mix of achar masala to make it tangy and flavored in paratha, whereas mango pickle and green chili pickle can also be used

 

Alternatively, if you like just flavor, not a tangy taste, then add achar gosht masala powder to the flour.

Combine flour, black pepper powder, salt, coriander powder, nigella, and semolina, and mix pickle masala.

                      

Add chopped coriander leaves, green chilies, and oil.

                    

Mix up all ingredients with flour until it turns crumbly. Next, begin to knead the dough using a little water. Once the dough is formed. Transfer to the working area.

                    

And start kneading by using your palm till it turns into a soft dough, neither sticky nor loose. Transfer  into the bowl and leave it  aside for resting about 15 minutes. 

  

                                                

Cut the dough into equal portions, and give a ball shape to each portion. Flour the rolling area. Take one dough ball at a time, and flatten it between the palm.

                      

Roll the dough ball into a very thin sheet,t almost transparent, and make thin strips over the rolled ball with the help of a pizza cutter or sharp knife,fe then apply ghee/oil over the str.ips

                         

And then sprinkle flour, and start rolling from one edge to another. ther

                      

Next, gently start rolling the rope like a snail, and press the end gently in the middle.

Rumali Roti Recipe

Rumali roti || Roti Recipe || How to make Rumali roti with step-by-step photos

Rumali Roti is an unleavened Pakistani and Indian bread traditionally made in Mughlai and Hyderabadi cuisine. This is also one of the most popular breads that is served in Pakistani roadside restaurants or hotels.s

This thin and soft roti can be folded like a handkerchief. If you close your palm to take this roti, it will be hidden in your palm so soft and thin than a normal chapati.s

People like to have this roti with barbeque itemsfriedry fish, kata kat, etc but one thing that is more important about this roti is that it is hotly served because rumali roti gets hard after cooling down.

                                      

Just because All-purpose flour is used in rumali roti, if you wanna use wheat flour  with plain flour, you can mix it in ½ quantity, such as

½ plain flour, ½ wheat flour,r then mix together to make soft and healthy Rotis. For making rumali roti, an upside-down Tawa will be required. If you don't have a problem, you can take any metal karahi (iron, steel)as a replacement for using replacement of Tawa/skillet. 

Tips:

1. Sprinkling salt water prevents roti from sticking and also gives a nice traditional taste.
2. Do not roast as they will turn hard
3. Knead the dough for 10-15 minutes to get a smooth and soft dough
4. Alternatively, you can also prepare chapati Tawa
5. I added milk to the flour, too. Milk makes the roti softer and more flavorful. 
6. Do not add too much flour when rolling. If there is a lot of flour covering the rotis, then the rotis will become hard.
7. Roll to thin and slightly transparent. Also, roll evenly and keep edges thin if they become thick.

Take the dough out of the bowl and dust some flour on the surface/rolling board. Knead it with flour dust.

Aloo Moong Dal Paratha Recipe ( Stuffed Veg Paratha )

                                                       

Aloo Moong Dal Paratha || Moong Dal Aloo Paratha || How to make aloo moong dal paratha With step-by-step photos 

Moong dal stuffed flatbread is made from protein-rich lentils, potatoes, spices, and herbs. A delicious and golden brown crisp layer of paratha goes well with a hot cup of tea. or nothing else to need with this paratha 

This stuffed aloo dal paratha is one of the most delicious and stomach-filling breakfast foods that can energize your body and help you go through the day’s activities. 

Personally, I love this dal aloo paratha. This paratha basically is my own creation and experiment, which I am sharing here with all. Hopefully, you will like and appreciate this recipe, and try it in your kitchen   

               

For the best result, follow my detailed step-by-step photo instructions and tips below the recipe card

Recipe notes:

Don’t overcook the potatoes and lentils; otherwise, the paratha may tear while rolling and frying. 

 

In this recipe, I used 2 cups of fine flour and 1 cup of wheat flour. However, you can use only wheat flour or all-purpose flour if you prefer. I highly recommend mixing wheat flour with maida (fine flour) because this combination helps prevent constipation and gastric issues.

 

The paratha dough should be neither too soft nor too hard. 

 

Using desi ghee for frying the parathas makes them tastier and crispier. If you have health concerns or do not like the taste of desi ghee, you can substitute it with olive oil.
