Chapatti, naan or paratha?

Fight!

Paratha for me plain not those garlic or keema things

Plain Naan FTW.

Depends 100% on what you are eating it with. (If you are trying to be authentic anyway).

Chapatti(s) and no cutlery FTW

Peshwari Naan. Ummm coconut.

Started buying chapatti flour a year or so ago. I think we’ve got through maybe a few bags as they take up half the cupboard. 🙂 They’re a doddle to make and way nicer than bought ones. I’ve made Parathas too, but they’re bloody oily! Not keen on Naans – a bit too much to them. If we’re having a curry at home, I’ll normally do less rice and a few chapattis and home made bhajis (also a doddle). Much nicer than a big plate of curry and too much rice.

I’ve been on the paratha for a while as it leaves more room for curry

Hmmm, khans balti, mixed (ie. chicken tikka and doner) kebab on Peshwari naan…. Heaven

Naan all the way. And as hot and greasy as possible please! Can’t have ‘healthy’ sneaking in through the back door! And whilst the fancy naans are attractive, I like than plain, to offset the delicious spicy flavour feast that the rest of the meal should be…

Damnit. I’ve made myself hungry now

Plain naan.

Chapattis are easy to make so I do them for home cooking. At a restaurant, nothing can beat a fresh naan. Is there an easy recipe for good home-made naan?

Aren’t chapatti, paratha and roti all the same thing?

Right, this is how it goes from a Anglo Indian/west indian who has lived in India for a few years.
Paratha, plain or stuffed (but fresh off the pan) with thick yogurt and chutney, chai – Breakfast
Tandoor butter Roti – just one as rice is the star for this meal – Lunch, followed by siesta.
Chapatti – 4 to 6 plain served with one or two curry consisting of only two complimentary veg each. Dinner
Naan – Friday night down the local tandoori.

I am firing up the tava tomorrow, I’m bloody starving!

Aren’t chapatti, paratha and roti all the same thing?

Get your coat!

Peshwari Naan. Ummm coconut.

Plus 1

Just enjoying chicken urethra

I used to be a naan guy but chapatis instead of cutlery is becoming my norm now.

I love eating curry with chapatis

Peshwari naan with Mrs BC.

Keema naan with the lads.

Chapatis for me, naans are too filling

Chapati or paratha, naan are to flabby and filling.

Rotla FTW!

Chapati for me.
but I can’t resist a peshwari nan….drool.

Learn’t my curry eating before Naan was a thing so Chapati.

Garlic naan for me every time – one of the best bits for me!

Garlic nan for the leftover sauce……yummy!!!

Chapati, so no need for rice..

Roti, but proper thick ones. I mentored a guy from Northern Pakistan, a Pathaan, and we were invited round for a meal. I already ate curries with chapattis, but they did roti in a tandoori which are like perfect.

I make chapattis on a tawa, dead simple. Tonight we had methi thepla, a gujerati paratha as a light meal with pickles and chutney

Methi Thepla

Butter roti….honest, top notch if well made…

Chapatti, naan or paratha?

All three.

To the tune of Que sera, sera:

“Will it be puri, chapatti or nan? We’ll have to wait and see.

Hope it’s popaddum, we ho-ope it’s popaddum….”

Actually Indian food is passé now, even the Indians and Pakistanis are moving out of Rusholme’s Curry Mile and getting into the courier business. They are being replaced by Syrians and Iraqis with delicious healthy mediterranean food, which couldn’t come too soon because until recently Manchester had NO decent Levantine restaurants, just the ropey old Cedar Tree in Thomas Street and Al Addin in Wilmslow, both an embarrassment to Middle-Eastern hospitality.

Paratha for me instead of rice.

All wrong! Dhalpuri every time.
