Ooh that looks so scrummy. It reminds me its about time I visited my mother, she makes the best paratha with stuffed vegetables, including cauliflower. Or maybe I should try and make some of my own. Nah, made by my mother will just taste much better.

Dan – Thanks! Give em a a go. Tricksy little suckers, but well worth a bit of a mess in the kitchen.

Jeanne – A happy marriage indeed. Yeah they turned out ok despite not being right and proper. You’ve just reminded me to chase someone up about a tip actually. Thanks!

Oooh, bread & lentils in one happy marriage! I quite like the effect of the lentils randomly distributed through the bread – purists be damned (or get stuffed, more appropriately!)

Paul – If you do then please let me know how they go.

Lizzie – well yes that did occur to me but with the current problems described then I’ve got no chance. The layer would just squirt out the sides I reckon. Could just use that as the water instead though, to get a more smoky flavour. Yum!

Helen T – Go forth and make parathas! It needs to happen!

Gastrogeek – it was my pleasure, trust me! I think I have a way to go with the parathas but I can only get better put it that way…

Kavey – It’s all about the fat isn’t it? As always!

Sharmila – Please, please do. I would really welcome the advice.

LexEat – Whatever floats your boat dude, whatever floats your boat…

Johanna – Yeah the chutney really is worth a go – so easy too as you just whack it all in the blender.

Jenn – Only one way to find out…

Shayma – Thank you! Thanks also for the coriander chutney recipe, I will give your mum’s recipe a go!

helen these are BEAUTIFUL. very difficult to make and you nailed them. they look like they are perfectly crisp. you are so right about ghee. and madhur’s twist on a paudinay ki chutney with walnuts is decadent and delicious, too. they’d be lovely with a dhania ki chutney (coriander chutney). my mum whizzes one tomato, one small onion, salt, green chilies, one garlic clove, a tomato and a bunch of coriander in a blender. done. best wishes, shayma

This sounds so good! I wonder if I could use chickpea flour and rice flour in place of the chapatti flour. I am looking for yummy grain free breads – and this could hit the spot!

great problem solving and what a delicious sounding chutney – must try – and always want to try stuffed indian breads so maybe this is a good way to start

Is it wrong to lick the screen of my lap top? Looks delicious!

These look lovely! My mum makes a lot of aloo paratha (mmm, potato in bread) and she manages to encase the layer of almost mashed potato within the two layers of paratha. I’m not sure how she does it, but I shall definitely ask her.
