Stuffed Carrot Moongsprouts Paratha

Monday, April 14, 2014

Most of our dinner goes for parathas or rotis, my kids just love rotis with anything. Obviously rotis is one of the staple food at our home after rice. I can feed easily everyone at home with stuffed parathas. I can go for anything for stuffing,none will bother about the stuffing,even if ill go for bittergourd stuffing,am sure they will enjoy their parathas, needless to say now how they will enjoy having parathas. By the way, am yet to make that bittergourd stuffed parathas and i dont have any idea how those bittergourd parathas will tastes.

Coming to todays paratha post, i prepared the stuffing with grated carrots and cooked moong sprouts, which i spiced simply with onions,greenchillies,garam masala powder and chaat masala. This paratha doesnt even need any side dish to enjoy,the stuffing itself will replace the side dishes usually we make for rotis.An another nutritious,very healthy parathas to enjoy without any guilt. This stuffed parathas was big hit among everyone at home and we loved it.

Tuesday, January 21, 2014

One more interesting bread from my oven, you can call this bread as monkey bread or as pull apart bread. Somehow i per to call this bread as monkey bread as this bread looks like bubbles and tastes sweet,sticky as like gooey pastry. Monkey bread is made with pieces of bread dough pieces which is baked in cake pan been individually covered with melted butter,cinnamon,sugar and sometimes with chopped walnuts. This bread is traditionally served hot so that the baked pieces can be easily torn away with the fingers and eaten by hand.

Coming to this chocolate stuffed strawberry monkey bread,this bread goes for chocolate chips and chopped strawberries, chopped strawberries sprinkled in between the chocolate chips stuffed bread dough pieces makes this bread simple flavourful and the cinnamon sugar along with cooked strawberry chunks gives an incredible aroma to this bread.One of my favourite smells in the world is freshly baked bread, trust me the aroma of this freshly baked strawberry monkey bread was mindblowing,its just out of the world. This is one more bread chosed and suggested by Manjula Bharath of Desi Fiesta  for this months Home Bakers Challenge.Thanks Manju and i loved your choice of bread for this months challenge.
