When we were bedridden and weak, thinking we were going to perish from fever, Grandma's recipe for chicken soup (or Campbell's soup in a pinch) is what nursed us back to health.

If you are a raw foodist or if you are simply staying away from spuds, try this delicious faux mashed potato recipe. You may just find it a suitable replacement!
 

 

Literally translated, this means 'Rotis cooked on an upturned Griddle'. Made the same way as normal Rotis, these are about double the normal thickness and placed on a hot griddle after wetting both sides of the uncooked Roti with water. This makes it stick to the griddle that in turn produces the desires effect when the griddle is upturned and the roti exposed to a naked flame. These Rotis are normally eaten with non-vegetarian dishes, but that's mostly a matter of individual preference.

I have been in the kitchens of excellent curry houses all over Britain and seen the large pot of curry gravy on the stove. The aroma is intense and - well you could say amazing. It is the aroma of the curry house!

Add the curry powder and then slowly pour in the water stirring continuously as you pour. The Ghee will begin to rise to the top. Mix once more and set aside additional hints to cool.

 

 

A thin layer of oil or clarified butter (ghee) is spread on the surface of the rolled Roti and folded until it's a square about an inch across, with oil being spread on every un-oiled surface that's exposed upwards. It is then rolled again and the process is repeated a few times. The Paratha is then cooked on a hot griddle, with liberal splashes of oil or ghee. The final result is a crisp (or not) bread that is multi layered and tastes quite good with just about anything. Typically, it isn't eaten with non-vegetarian dishes. In ethnic Muslim cuisine, this is also called Roghani Roti, where 'Roghani' refers to 'fat'.

Skim the solids off the top and discard. Now carefully pour the clarified butter into a plastic container. Ensure that the solids stay in the pan and do not mix with the clarified butter - ghee.
