Dear Chithra,
you have shown a good way to escape when the shape of the paratha ditches, we can tell the family that it is a new shape taught by our Chitvish-the family will nod in delight and gobble up the parathas, even though they are in oddest of odd shapes. You rock, my dear.

Oh, Varloo,
This is toooooooooo bad!
Using my name to escape!!
The next to come will be envelope &cigar parathas!
Howzzzzzzzzzzzzzaaaaaaaaaaaat??
Love,
Chithra.

Dear chiths

pls give the recipe for envelope parathas...

lov
sowmi

Dear Sowmi,
Yes, I will.
But any filling can be kept inside & folded as given. There is no rolling after folding - that is the main point in this.
Love,
Chithra.

Dear Chithra,
I learned to make North Indian dishes by watching Khana Khazana on tv. I still am a fan of the chef, he makes things easily and teaches too. Now, you are a lady Sanjeev Kapoor, you have given detailed recipes and also photos for easy reference. How do we thank you at all?
All the parathas look yummy, I have just made the dough in the grinder, will make and tell you.

Dear Varloo,
I am a greater fan of Tarla Dalal than of Sanjeev Kapoor!
You can try all variations with plain dough for ease in folding, except envelope paratha.
You know what, Varloo, I made apple paratha & tomorrow I plan to try banana paratha!!
Love,
Chithra.

Dear Chitra mam,

For some snacks like Murukku and Seedai we slightly roast and grind Urad dhal. Can we store this powder and use it whenever required or should it be done afresh. Hope it doesnt affect the softness or colour of the snack! Please let us know when you find time. Thanks.

Dear Cindhuja,
Yes, you can store it in airtight, moisture proof box.
Love,
Chithra.

Dear Chitra mam, Awesome job

Thanks for posting step by step with pictures!
This really useful for people like me who have started cooking newly..

Dear Mami,

Just now stepped into this and the envelope one is so tempting ...

The filling...though you say we can use any...yours in that pic looks so yummy.........

Great effort from your part to put it all here..

bye
