[MrsBhawnakhanna1]

Thank you for ur response to my mail. I want to know 2 things : 1) At which kind of stores I can find Flour tortilla for making Vegetable quesdilla ?

2) While making white chana or rajma or black chana , How can we avoid sourness ( khattapan) of tomato ?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@MrsBhawnakhanna1 : Here are the responses:

1. Tortilla can be bought at regular grocery stores like Walmarts, Kroger, Tom Thumb...

2. Avoid using too much tomato and if you do not like the sourness, you can add a pinch of sugar, it will help.

[lonelybird1234]

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@lonelybird1234 : Yes, you will have to look for it in a specialty store.

[KofykatKashyap]

The subzi, you served with the parantha looks delicious. What was that? Can you teach that too?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@rxmusic1 : It was bell pepper with besan (chickpea flour). We will put that on our list :)

[shartanne]

I know it varies, but around how much flour did it take you guys to make this? Looks sooo good!

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@shartanne : approx 1.5 cups of Chapati Flour

[MsONatural]

What was the Asofoetida, I didn't quit here what you said after that. Where can I find it? Can I order it from online?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@MsONatural

Asofoetida is a pungent spice with great flavor (if used sparingly). You can find it at any Indian grocery store or check herbco (dot) com.

The body does not need as much protein as people think. Vegetarians become almost neurotic on a search for protein! I believe some vegetarians probably get more than meat eaters! Just thought I would add this to put it into perspective in response to your comment at the end with vegetarian (kids).

[raptusss]

@ocergnairb You need about 40-60 g of prots a day. Going under that will result in eating your own muscles. I was part in a study where we did that as bodybuilders, and the results were shocking...

[verumuneh]

thank you . Great sharing.

[Thestargazer000]

can i substitute pickle masala with tomato paste

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@Thestargazer000

The pickle masala adds a little bit of oil but you could add tomato paste. The resulting taste will be completely different but it should be good.

[2011pallavi]

if we make this how this will stay in fridge

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@2011pallavi

You can store it in an airtight container or ziploc bag in the fridge. To re-heat, place it on a hot tawa (skillet).

[stangcrazygirl]

This looks good. I work for Indian people and they always share their food with me when I work. I have tried many things and I had something very close to this today. It was SO good! :)

[ranbhorgeeta]

Hetal and Anuja.. thank u for this wonderful recipe.. This is the only way I can eat tofu.. tastes awesome.. I have made tofu paratha 3 times within a week..I used firm tofu because the protein % was more in it and it worked just as well.. thanks again..

[Shipra86]

Is there any way I can use firm tofu for this?

:-( I have one in my fridge and its sitting there, I wanna use it.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@Shipra86

We have not tried firm tofu for this recipe, but the silken tofu blends into the flour really well. The firm one may crumble up. Maybe you can try it out on just 1/2 cup of flour as an experiment. If it doesn't work, we have a great recipe for Tofu Stir Fry. Please check our youtube channel or website: ShowMeTheCurry (dot) com.

[AnnieNM06]

where do I get pickle masala if I don't have it in the house? I've never had that so was wondering

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@AnnieNM06

You can pick up a bottle of mango (or any other kind) pickle from your local Indian grocery store. They even sell it in the ethnic foods aisle of major American grocery stores.

[MackerelCat]

That is a great idea - using a lazy susan/turning plate thing to roll out the breads. I will try that!

[nworb]

@MackerelCat

The thing they used is called a chakla (atleast in punjabi, I know that's what it's called). U can buy it at an indian store. It made for making roti. No all of them spin.

But u r rite, a lazy susan type of mechanism can also be used.

[ksmultan]

don't we havy to cook the tofu before we make the roti doe?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

No, the tofu does not need to be cooked. It will get cooked on the tawa with the dough.

[marinamermaid]

I like the sly way you added the tofu in, nice & healthy addition!

[Bedlam]

lol, i wasn't paying attention in the beginning in the video and thought i heard "I'm a ninja."

[merisha1616]

Where is your kitchen store ?

And how much is the roti insilator box ?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

You can find our kitchen store on our website - ShowMeTheCurry (dot) com/catalog

hi hetal and anuja

the parathas look gr8 is there any other thing we can put instead of pickel masala thanks i enjoy watching and trying out the new dishes

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Pickle masala saves a couple of extra step like adding in other spices. You can, however, add your own spices....cumin powder, coriander powder, dry mango powder, red chili powder, etc.

[madhunov]

Hi Hetal and Anuja, This looks really yummy! I am certainly going to try and make it. BTW, I know you said use any pickle masala, but which one are you using in the video? Let me know. Thanks again for sharing this with us, and thanks to you friend who shared the recipe with you! :)

[ShowMeTheCurry]

We actually used a homemade one but any one will do. We especially like the sour mango pickle - nice tanginess!

[mbhatt18]

Hi Hetal & Anuja,thx for sharing a wonderful reciepe.......i always watch ur videos and have learned alot.......

Now i live in london and i tried to find tofu but i couldn't get it......does it call by any other name??????/plz let me know what should i do?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Tofu is sometimes called soya bean curd.

[Blanca85]

I'm sure there will be more places where they sell tofu, but try Sainsbury's, I always bought it there when I lived in UK

[mbhatt18]

Thank you...

[abcdknocked]

hi, hetal and anuja!! thanks for wonderful recipes..!! i tried this paratha..came out nice!! but altered pickle step as for me it becomes more spicy but instead i used garlic chutney(in gujarati v call lasan no masalo..hope hetal knows well) and it turned out very nice!!! thanks again.

@ mbhatt18

Hi mbhatt18,

i also live in UK and u can find silken tofu from Tesco Extra superstores; product company name is Blue Dragon Silken Style Tofu , hope this information is useful to you.

Cheers!!

[mbhatt18]

Hi abcdknocked,

thanks a lot.......u been a great help...

[lanastraea]

I noticed that the marble board you were rolling the paratha on turned as you were rolling, so you didn't have to pick up and turn the paratha by hand. Is the rolling board supposed to do that, and where can I get one?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

We were using a "lazy susan" which turns. You can find it at Bed Bath & Beyond or Linens n Things.

[pinkpearls14]

deeeeeeeeelicious!

[nrelic]

nice work... thnx 4 sharing...

[joshgeorgebio1]

wot is Silken Tofu? wer can i buy this?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Tofu (soya bean curd) is available in different textures - extra firm, firm, soft and silken. The silken type is the softest one and can easily be incorporated into flour to make this paratha.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

It is available at most American grocery stores as well as Asian stores.
