My father is a non-vegetarian lover, and feels that the food is only good only till it is North Indian Punjabi style. Not many items in the menu, but to a little richer nature. Some dishes that he likes will somewhere remind you of authentic Punjab food. Lassi is a must. Tari instead of gravy or curry, along with nice Parathas and Rotis.
Ingredients
Whole wheat flour – 1 cup
Salt – a pinch
Oil -1 tsp for kneading the dough
Oil for cooking the parathas
For the stuffing
Potatoes – 2-3
Green chillies -2 seeded
Cumin seeds – 1 tsp
Salt as required
Coriander leaves – handful (finely chopped)
Onion – 1 finely chopped (optional)
