Receta Parath Masala Paratha | Layered Masala Paratha
by Nisha

Even though paranhas are quite famous all over North India, for most Delhi would be more synonymous with the word paratha. For those who are familiar with the region, this word would instantaneously remind them of "Gali Parathe wali". Though I have no personal experience of the place, I had heard so much about it. As mentioned in my earlier post, my in laws are widespread and Delhi is a resident for few. Being a foodie family, there is no need to ask them. Invariably all topics would be diverted towards the history and geography of the dish being served at that mealtime. So, if it is parathas for breakfast, then it is Delhi's Chandni Chowk, where the paratha gali is located. So when it was Delhi's turn, without a second's hesitation I decided its Paratha for breakfast.

Delhi, being the melting pot of India, has no definitive cuisine of its own. Being the capital of Mughal empire in ancient days, Mughalai cuisine was more prevalent. But now due to various cultural mix, It has become an amalgamation of various cuisines. It is very well known for its Punjabi food and street food. Chole Batture, various chaat items and parathas are the most popular food of Delhi not limited to it.

The speciality of the Delhi Parathas are that they are fried instead of pan frying like the regular stuffed parathas. It is mentioned that the paratha galli serves about 35 different kinds of parathas ranging from savoury to sweet. It is very sad to know that now only four shops are in existence in that street. As the name suggests, this recipe is for a layered paratha. "Parath" means layer in hindi. The regular chappathi dough is made into small pieces and then layered on top of each other and rolled out again. These parathas are usually fried in oil, but due to personal preference, I have made this in the tawa.
