How to make Plain Paratha on tawa

My husband  likes to do breakfast at home before leaving for work, so its imperative that I need some recipe that i can cook fast. Since he has to leave early in the morning to catch his bus, rarely does he have time for proper breakfast. Though he doesn't mind having corn-flakes, but not everyday. He doesn't like sandwich breads, its the Prathas which gets his vote eventually. From my point of view, plain parathas with Mango pickle or Curd (with sugar) or butter are my favorites, simply because they are really easy and fast to cook and serve especially in the breakfast.

Parathas, if don't know already, are kind of national breakfast in India.

It has hundreds of variations and there is no real limit to how many kinds of parathas can be made. Each kind of stuffing like aaloo masala for aaloo paratha, and amount of heating/cooking/ghee on Tawa used for making it crisp, creates its own taste and aroma.

Really, they are as easy to cook as it sounds from here.
You just need these ingredients
  1. 1 cup flour
  2. 1/2 cup water
  3. 2 spoon cooking oil
Yes, that's it. Only these three ingredients are required. You also need a tawa and a spatula, for using it in cooking. And off course you need a chakla (flat circular rolling board) and belan (rolling pin) for making a pratha.

Follow these steps to make a plain paratha
  1. Knead the flour by adding water into it, making it a soft dough.
  2. Divide it into 4-5 portions and make balls of it.
  3. Press the ball shape dough into the shape of a bowl. Apply some oil on the surface, and fold it so that edges are sealed so that no edges comes out.
  4. Flatten it again using the belan into approx 6-7 inch diameter, and put it on tawa.
  5. Apply little oil on it, and when the other side is heated till turns golden, and then do the same on other side of paratha.
 If you want you can add some flavor into it by adding some salt (along with some oil) in step 3.

Hope you have enjoyed this simplest of recipe which reduce your breakfast preparation time to just 10-15 minutes.

Trick to remove dark circles below the eyes

Have you ever made tea using tea bags? 

What do you do with them once you have used them?

Can you remotely imagine any use of used tea bags?


Well, there is one, and this one can remove dark circles below your eyes making your eyes look fresh as ever. I am presenting to you one of the most unknown trick of removing dark circles below the eyes using the used tea bags.

Its simple. Once you have dipped the tea bag well enough in your hot tea, don't throw it away. Just let it cool down, and once it gets cooled down, put it on your eyes, covering the area below your eyes also. Keep it there for some time, and make sure that tea water doesn't get to your clothes, otherwise its stains will be difficult to be removed. Keep the tea bag on your eyes for 15-20 minutes, and after that you eyes will feel fresh as ever.

Yes, that's it. A very simple use of a used tea bag as a remedy for the strained eyes after watching TV whole day or spending whole day at work.

Hope this was useful. Good luck.
