you could make that recipe a lot better by,

1. using tharka instead of pastes and adding the tharka after you have fried the onions (tharka = ginger and garlic cloves blended).

2. dont add any water.

3. use tortilla wraps instead of frozen pratha's or supermarket chapati's, tortilla's taste better when cooked on a thuvva (indian frying pan used for making chapati's)

also the reason why it takes you that long is because your using far too much water, and you must have it on a low heat or your cooker aint that powerful.

you can also add potatoes into this recipe, chopped into squares as thick as your thumb

Tharka = tempering. It means quick frying onions, spices etc

Patatoes? Keema Muttar doesn't have any patatoes in it

Drools, I love those types of meals and paratha are lovely. I keep telling people to give them a go, but they keep going for the naan breads.

Some how missed this thread.

looks delicious, a bit concerned adding water, generally i never add water to indian recipes unless in small amounts.

Ah, but it's my mom's recipe. As authentic indian as you can get ^_^

Parathas, naan's etc. depends a lot on what you're eating. With curries for instance, I love naan if i'm out (mostly just use roti if making at home). With potatoes (indian style), you have to have parathas. With curried potatoes, you have to have puri's. Huge amount of variety available

Advantage of parathas over other forms is that they become very tasty and a meal in themselves once you start stuffing them with potatoes, cauliflower or fenugreek.
