Tuesday Trial

Woke up at 6.00 am this morning after a fierce debate between brain and body if I could afford another 15 min of shut eye…

My fridge is a sorry state of affairs during week-days, I just make do. Today, one tomato peeped through the chill refrigerator mist and wished me good morning. I had no clue what to do with it. Bleary eyed, I quickly prepared whole wheat dough, and kept it aside. I chopped an onion, real fine, and with it went the finely chopped tomato. I grated two cubes of flavored cheese, and mixed it up with the chopped onion and tomato. Tossed in oregano, salt and pepper powder and mixed well.

I rolled out the dough into thin chapathis, and spread one half with this veggie-cheese mix. I folded the other half over, so it formed a semi circle, with the filling inside. I patted it well, and sealed the edges with a bit of water. I patted these semi circles some more so they were nice and flattened—made about four of these.

I heated some oil on a tava and cooked the semicircle parathas till they were done well on both sides. Cut this into strips for Sam’s snack box, and left three of them for Shinu.
I sampled it hot in the morning, and thought they were decent. And they don’t take long too. Maybe next time grated carrots and beets too can go in. Maybe grated apple too, for an interesting twist. Shredded palak will go well with the cheese; I’m thinking…….and Shinu says shredded egg- so yeah, possibly that too.

Must shop for lots of veggies this evening…
