Living Rawesome Day #70 Black Sesame Paratha pg. 114 entertaining in the raw
October 3, 2009
I finished the project early today! Yippy, now I can rest tonight and not be up so late. Funny, this is the first time I have seen this recipe. I didn’t know what paratha was so I looked it up and it reminds me of pita bread. Paratha sounds really good, especially this paratha and the cucumbers and mango chutney to go with them. I had to soak the walnuts and cashews for 2 hours, so I soaked them and went to my parents to visit and do homework. I finished what I could, then came home.
The walnuts and cashews had soaked long enough, so I started the recipe. It took me 10 minutes all together to make this paratha. M.K. calls it a crisp, so I am assuming it should be “crisp” like the consistency of a cracker. I feel like the dough should’ve been softer, similar to the pancake batter, but it is very doughy. It was hard to spread out. I did the best I could. They don’t look as pretty as I would like them to appear, but maybe they will look better after dehydration. I have to dehydrate them for 8-10 hours, so I will see after they are complete. Jason came home while I was making them, he said they smell good. I hope he likes this meal. It will be done by tomorrow night or Monday night. Depends really what we choose to eat tomorrow.

I am going for a family bike ride on the trail. The weather is beautiful and we are all home, so I hate missing opportunities like this, so I’m leaving!
