Black Pepper And Egg Spicy Curry!!! This is one of the very spicy curry and it goes very well with hot Rice... I wanted to eat this curry from last month, due to not having mixer grinder i use to postpond it. Last Saturday we order the mixer, after the mixer arrived, the first thing which i grinded was the Black Pepper Curry Masala and i was in so hurry to cook i dint even realize how much red chilli powder i have added.

Cabbage Stuffed Paratha.. (Indian Flat Bread Stuffed With Cabbage)

Cabbage Stuffed Paratha!!! I think this is the right time to clear all the draft post which i was thinking from a long time. Since i'm not been able to try out any new dishes and this will be the golden chance for me.. As i have been telling in my early posts that i love cabbage and i love anything which made of cabbage and my H hates it.. I still remember when i had cooked this paratha, he dint even came to know this was a cabbage and he kept asking me while eating, what have you stuffed in this paratha. After he finished eating it i told him that this was made of cabbage and he was shock!! and then he replied saying No Problem. I like it... I had chopped the cabbage very fine and i had added the ajwain so that the cabbage taste was less.. I thoroughly enjoyed this paratha with curd and pickle...

 

 

Ingredient's
2 cup wheat flour
Salt to taste
Water to make a dough.

 

For Stuffing:
1 cup cabbage, very finely chopped
1 green chilli, very finely chopped
1/2 tsp red chilli powder
1/2 tsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp ajwain
Salt to taste.

 

 

 

Cooking Method
Combine the flour and salt, knead into soft and pliable dough with sufficient water. Knead the dough till it is smooth and elastic. Cover and keep aside in an airtight container for some time.
In a large mixing bowl add cabbage, green chillies, red chilli powder, coriander powder, turmeric, ajwain and salt, Mix them all together nicely and set it aside.

 

 

 

Then divide dough into 4-5 lemon sized balls ( bigger than the dough required for normal chapati ) and flatten it. Place 1 tablespoon of filling in each dough, cover them to a ball and roll out an a flat surface like a paratha. Sprinkle dry flour when making parathas.
Heat a flat frying pan or tava. Reduce heat to medium and cook parathas till golden brown, on both the sides. Apply oil on both sides.
