Since the plane that we flew in touched down here in Singapore late quarter last year, up to today, I have seen, I have come, but still I am not anywhere near to conquering Singapore food :). There are just so many many more yet to try! For one, there's that infamous chili crab!!! (oh, hubbytot, let me try one someday :P) But for the ones that i did get to try, most I liked, only a few I have yet to acquire my taste buds to.
Pratha or pa-ra-tha. Have you ever heard of it? Neither did I. But thanks to my adventurous hubby, who in the family was the 1st to try it, and enjoyed it, and introduced me & our little tykes to it, it has now become another staple in our pantry.
What is it? Merriam-Webster defines it as: "an unleavened Indian wheat bread that is usu. fried on a griddle."
"A picture paints a thousand words"... here's what this pratha looks like.
And here is one yummy eat we can whip up with it!
Crunchy Pratha "Tacos"
ingredients
a cup of shredded cabbage
a handful of red/green bellpepper julienned
a handful of red/white onions sliced
a cup of ground beef sauted in oil-salt-pepper
+ other optional what-tickles-ur-fancy-taco-toppings
a cup of tomato sauce
pratha wraps
1. pan-fry pratha for a couple mins. on each side on low heat
(you'll know it's done when it's turned golden brown)
2. fill pratha w/ the ingredients above,
dry ones first, then slather w/ the sauce
(tomato, in this case)
3. fold the pratha in half like a taco wrap.
4. bite! :)
my lesson learned:
pratha can pan-fry in its own oil. The yummy crunchy bites you get with it more than makes up for what little grease it comes with.
enjoy! ^_^
