Do the twist n puff

There is more than 1 way to use pratha because it's like pre-made dough.

I only knew to use it like a roll, taco wraps, and pizza. But wait, there's more! Loads of delicious ideas shared by Spring Home! 😄

If we stretch our imagination some more, we might just have Eureka-Pratha moments!


Pratha Pockets / Pouch

🌮 Tools
baking paper

🌮 Steps 
Thaw pratha for a teeny bit, until its foldable - about 3 mins (?)
Pre-heat oven, 160C.
Line the baking tray with baking paper.

Brush some olive oil on one side of the pratha.
Fold in half like a dumpling, careful not to press the closed edge.
On the open edge, press gently with your thumb or fork to seal together.

Place on the baking tray.
Bake at 160C for 12 minutes, middle-rack. (top/bottom heat adjust accordingly)

Let cool until easy to handle (use a heat-proof glove!)
Slice open the wrap safely (be careful not to cut your hand)


 


Pratha Twists

🥨 Tools
baking paper
egg wash - 1 egg + 1 tbsp milk/water; beat gently.

🥨 Steps
Preheat oven at160C.
Line the baking tray with baking paper.
Thaw the pratha for a bit, so that it will not crack while twisting it.

On a chopping board, slice the pratha into 8 strips.
Pair strips of same size, pinching them together at the tip.
Braid all the way to the bottom (not too tight, not too loose).
Lay on the baking tray with enough space between each twistie.
Repeat for all strips and prathas.
Brush with egg wash.
Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar or lemon sugar, or whatever you like.

Bake for 10mins at 160C.


Pratha Puffs

🥨 Tools
baking paper

🥨 Fillings
fruit diced (mango, peach, berries, avocado, etc.)
grated cheese
jam or spread (PBJ, grape, blueberry, etc.)

🥨 Steps
Preheat oven at160C.
Line the baking tray with baking paper.
Thaw the pratha for a bit, so that it will not crack when folding it.

Slice the pratha into half.
On each half, put desired fillings on one side.
Fold the other half to cover.
Seal by pressing a fork gently on the open edges.

Bake for ??? mins at 160C.

how i met Nancy Drew

It was my sister who introduced me to Nancy Drew and her posse, Bess and George. Back in 4th grade, from a book she brought home from the school library.  Erm, at least that's how I remember it. One Nancy Drew thing stands out in my memory though. The title "The Secret of the Old Clock".  I vividly remember how the book looked, hard-bound, yellow spine, thick pages. The picture in the front cover showed Nancy, alone, crouched on the grass in the quiet woods at night, opening that old clock and looking so, well, so secretive about it!  I recall how i felt then, seeing that picture, there is a thrill, like you were on the verge of discovery of a very precious secret!   Thus, i got hooked in a much enjoyable way.  I had graduated from fairy tales, fables and legends and had moved into mystery. It was one mystery solved after another! A different kind of adventure! How about you?  Were you, or are you an avid Nancy Drew fan? What was your 1st mys...
