@daintgautam

We've always been different countries, different races, even if we were once joined together by the British Empire. Of course we have both Chinese and Indian influence in our culture and cuisine, not just immigrant communities. It's natural and inevitable. It enriches our lives.

I am happy to see good ol' Tamil Nadu Brotta's in Myanmar!!!!

Hey do u guys do Mortaba style (where u mince the Brotta w/ meat, veggies) of Brotta ? Or how about Ceylonese style where u got egg sandwich between 2 Brottas?

[Wagaung]

@xxxdieselyyy

i love myanmar

[Cutchswife]

Looks lovely.

[tally267]

In Southeast Asia, we sometimes say food wouldn't be so delicious if it's too clean. Think that it explains everything.

[Wagaung]

True to a point and we do acquire immunity as we grow up but admittedly hygienic measures still need much to be desired.

[xxxdieselyyy]

@Wagaung ----------hygienic measures still need much to be desired.---------->To be fair, Myanmar's hygenic standards were surprisingly superior to India's. U don't have hotels storing food in toilet, and they don't cook w/ motor oil :P

[Wagaung]

@xxxdieselyyy

Thanks. I guess there's a line the Burmese won't cross.

@Wagaung Or maybe ,Indians have just too much freedom and say whatever they want ,whenever they want and we as Indians are always vocal about whats not good in India(its the freedom of democracy that makes anyone say anything about india and still getaway ,Arundhati rai is good recent example,but still its something i always am proud of about being an indian) and others just say ,yeah well you suck ?

[Wagaung]

@baryah

Lucky you.

[udayk66]

@xxxdieselyyy motor oil is expensive in Myanmar.

[sfballach]

lol

[toog1959]

myanmar is not an easy place to video well done.

[Wagaung]

I knew I was being rather intrusive but they didn't seem to mind. Perhaps they knew I used to be one of the locals now living abroad and visiting; the jungle wireless works pretty fast in Mandalay neighbourhoods. As for the authorities it's just a paratha stall.

[toog1959]

how brave of you.

[endofdays5767]

paratha is also made in india

[Wagaung]

It is Indian in origin. Burmese call it "palata". Notice the headscarf although it's not exclusively made by people of Indian ancestry any more.

[endofdays5767]

Ya I just looked it up on wiki. Burma looks interesting. Hopefully I'll get to travel there one day

[Wagaung]

What Kipling said still holds true: Burma is unlike any other land you've seen before.

[GanjaBhai]

north indians don't make this kind of paratha

this method of making paratha is tamil in origin, and i'm very happy to see you guys keeping this method alive.

i hope your making goat curry with that as well

[Wagaung]

Definitely. It's excellent with goat as kema paratha, my personal favourite. Another popular dish to go with paratha is goat in thick soup with potatoes and onions, yummy!

[GanjaBhai]

mmm!!! can i come over for dinner? :P

[JoyDevivre]

Nonsense - parat parantha or layered parantha is a very old North Indian tradition.

[nochemistry]

Cool video!!
