Roti Prata mi amore

Parantha is a South Indian dish which was introduced in Malaysia and Singapore. It's known as Roti Canai in Malaysia and Roti Prata in Singapore. There are few foods that produce the levels of sheer bliss of a freshly fried prata.The pure unadulterated version is just feathery layers of butter soaked and almost pastry-like bread. In the picture above the plain one is in the front on the left. You can also have egg, cheese, onion or mushrooms folded into the dough while it cooks like the egg prata on the back left of the platter. On the right side of the platter are the typical curries served with prata, lentil dahl in the front, fish curry in the middle. This particular vendor also served up a dollup of his own special masala sauce on the back left. This meal is $2.00USD at our closest hawker centre. I also buy whole wheat prata from the grocery store which is sold in stacks in the freezer section. It's not as fluffy as the fresh but it does make a great quick breakfast with an egg and cup of iced coffee.
