Punjab is a northern state of India. Their cuisine is well known worldwide for their tandoori items (mostly for non-veg tandoori chicken) or Nan; vegetarian dishes like mutter paneer, parathas, lassi are trademarks too. Foreign people associates Punjab food as Indian Food: Indian eats Nan, Tandoori, etc..
Paratha is an Indian flatbread, made with wheat flour. It could be stuffed with any vegetables of your like. Better and easy way to eat wheat and vegetables together. Roll the dough first, place the stuffing and close the edges firmly and roll it gently without giving any pressure! Voila, you have a tasty stuffing parathas.
I made this aloo parathas (Poatato stuffed flat bread) and muttar paneer (Peas & cottage chesse curry) for the RCI event hosted by Cooking Station. Let the SINNDIAN (Singapore Indian- I guess) enjoyed my Punjab treat!
