    Home » Indian Breakfast recipes » Roti | Parathas

    Trikon Paratha | Triangle Paratha

    Published: Apr 30, 2014 · by Nisha

    All that begins well, ends well. This whole month has been a virtual treat for you and me as well. At the end of this month, I felt that trying to capture the Indian culinary essence is highly impossible and it will be unjustified. So much to know about each culture, region and people. Today is the last stop in our journey -West Bengal. According to wiki, this state has come under many different rulings and each one has given their fair share to the now Bengali cuisine. The Turks, nawabs, Europeans and Chinese. Kolkatta, the capital of the state is famous for the popular hybrid Indo Chinese street foods.  This state is known for its sweets, fish and rice. I simply love Bengali sweets because most of it are milk sweets. Bengalis make the best milk based sweet in the world.- Rsagulla, ras malai, Sandesh, I can keep going.

    Trikon Paratha | Triangle Paratha

    But today's recipe is a simple breakfast menu from Bengal. Triangle paratha - the rotis are folded and shaped into triangle. Oil is applied in between folds to get a crispy paratha. Serve this with a spicy aloo fry in a traditional way or you can use do with this simple chutney.

      That AP flour must add softness to the rotis.
      It was a pleasure running the marathon with you.

      one never runs out of options for parathas in indian cuisine and yet we never seem to be satisfied with the number of recipes. Trikoni paratha is difficult to roll out, where people think making round parathas is tough to make. you made yours perfectly, had fun doing the marathon with you ...

      Triangle parathas are my favourite, trikon paratha with some paneer masala makes a prefect pair na.
