Gobi Paratha

Hi everybody,


I still can't believe that I created a blog. I am a new bud in this field .I didnt know the basic's of cooking before marriage and was really worried that my mother in law would have a bad impression on me, but luckily she never asked me to cook anything ,I only had to help her in kitchen ,so I lost my first chance to learn cooking .Few weeks later I moved to U.A.E with my hubby and was worried about my cooking skills. Luckily the food blogs came to my rescue and I tried recipes from blogs and made delicious food for my hubby. Its my sister who gave me inspirartion to start a blog ,She has a food blog with awesome recipes and she is a good cook.Thanks to her for helping me out. You can find her recipes here.

Today I am going to post a simple recipe of Gobi parata. I was very weak in rolling round shape chappathy's.Its my mother in law who tought me to make perfect round shape,before that I used to make triangle and square shaped ones..and I really had a tough time learning to make the round ones.
