in kerala,we have only Porotta....and it's nothing like the paranthas....i love those too.but i prefer having porottas with some curry and paranthas with pickle and fresh curds,with a blob of home-made butter on it...that just melts on the hot-hot parantha!OMG!that IS heaven,i say! :-D

Ok, I'll not remind for I know how it hurts to think of dozens of types of paranthas & missing them!!
:)- :)-:)-
no not simple i will like it with meat.
how about a simple Hummos??:P
Yalla!
to find these yummy food???
You won't fully enjoy a swing unless you raise your feet from the ground......
Oh painther don't remind me of Paranthe wali galli.. For one year I had breakfast there every sunday.. My best meal of the week it used to be..
yummy ma fav kallumakkaya :)
sandeep.. thats why I say parantha is being hijacked here.... I'm coming via 'galli parantha' in Delhi and people who know it, know what I mean & what a parantha means!!!
** U right I can never eat 'porotta'..!!!
painther in North it is parantha, in south its porotta.. If you have eaten a stuffed parantha in North, you don't want to eat porotta, trust me on that..
Saggi, it's not Porotta....It's Parantha....I cant just see 'parantha' being hijacked n killed like this...:)-:)-
your yummy food.. especially numbers 1, 2, 7 and 14....
You won't fully enjoy a swing unless you raise your feet from the ground......
guess what guys,i had masala dosa for breakfast today :-P LOL

i love fried eggs in porottas bread mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
yummyyyyyyyyyyyyy
all fat and no calories:D
Arien, thanks for the recipe, simple and sounds good, almost like steamed corn with butter, yet the ghee smells much better:)
Yalla!
and thier food too...though i dont like all kerala food but yes the masala dosa tamil nadu style & parothas are really of good taste. For those who dont like spice try the same dishes with less spice...
Thanks guys, I thought they looked like paranthas. I've never tried that before, I will give it a go though, thank you.
*****If you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say anything at all*****
porotta is a bread like thing made of wheat powder and some flour..indian calls it porotta..while pakistani's call it paratha
I don't like the drugs,but the drugs like me. :D
I called him for a minute and lost the connection. I think he is still enjoying his time. I only heard kabayans shouting at him "pwede ihagis mo ang saging sa akin?"
hmmm it looks very delicious hope I coulf try those dishes.
saggi you know that called Taxi restaurant?they sell indian chappatis and it taste good and also that spicy fried chicken,though looks primitive and really affordable...
he is. Do you want me to leave a message for him?
Is Tarzan also with you, tarsiers?
bohol
Is Tarzan with you? tarsiers.
oh what would i have done without Wikipedia and Google!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerala_porotta

it's a kind of bread.not an accompaniment.so the only "spice" used in it is salt :-D

see the second pic,sness?those are called Porottas....they're made mainly with maida and in a particular fashion to get all those layers....u must try it out sometime....they're not a single layered kinda roti like the paranthas or chappatis....
Going to church no more makes you a Christian than standing in a garage makes you a car. ~ Garrison Keillor
Is it spicy?
We eat more bananas than humans
Svelte, what is porottas?
*****If you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say anything at all*****
Humans eat more bananas than monkeys.
jpa said What would be my next ...
What would be my next sentence then....

not a big deal as far as there are good tomatos here:)
some people tend to confuse between paranthas and porottas....both are entirely different....one is Punjabi and the other is a pure kerala dish.what's ur pick,Khanan?

I haven't used it either. So, it's probably all lies, Tarsiers.
What would be my next sentence then....
THEY DO adore bananas. All my nation love it;)
They said monkeys like bananas?
Thanks God. I am still active, but i heard from my fellow old friends that it does not enlarge but only let it get up. So it is only for waking up and not growing up:)
The finger banana size comment excited him and he shifted to talk about bras, boobies, and viagra
Boston and tarsiers did.
It was a spicy thread from the beginning, Khanan. Stop complaining.
I think I got you Boston. You mean that they use viagra to enlarge the vegatables size in europe?:)
it was clean thread about food and you hijacked it:)

and the pretty Spanish girls..
They use Viagra to get giant plants.
They don't wear bras.
Anyhow, the food above all looks like it has been cooked to death!
What about viagra?
The egos.
for the first time. That was back in 1998, I noticed that all thier vegatables are Giant. Everything, even the onion or cucumber. Giant and shiny. I wondered why and later on I was told that they use some chemicals or I dont know what to enlarge the vegatables.
They actually dont have much taste as the small ones. For example, the tomato is shiny and giant but once you eat it, you will hardly taste the tomato taste.
While here, if you go for the normal size vegatables, you will notice the difference in taste. You will feel that you are eating a vegatable and not a giant shiny and colorful ball as in tomato
you mean a BIg Bra??? :P
Tarsiers: Viagra!
Come on, DaRuDe. What goes with big boobies? He. Think, man.
dont say OTHER THINGS just name it. :/
The horns of the Longhorns, the territory itself, the Texan smile, the boobies of the Texan cowgirls, and other things. Everything.
"Pomegranate" ?
Like what things are big in Texas. name few atleast.
i cant eat spicy foods, id go for mashed potatoes.
Also in Texas, Tarsiers. Everything is big in Texas.
halu halu?
and Masla Dosa!
and I love the way they eat it!

they feed the cows beans to get big. Is that true?
Mouth watering even after having full pack lunch just a while ago
Cowboys eat steaks and beans!
YESSSSS. That is my favorite banana. The finger size. I love it
over SPICY. I also like hot food sometimes, but not everything must be hot! For example, I tried Mix Grill in one indian restaurant which i forgot its name as well and I could not taste the meat. I taste only spice! It could be that the chef powerd more than he should that day when i was there.
In general, Indian Cusine has some yummy food as well. Not all ofcourse but many. Same goes with Chinese, Filipino...etc cusine.
Anyway, It all depends on the taste. It might taste good for me, while bad for someone else. But there will be always General overview about each cusine.
For example, Indian food spicy. lots of curry.
Filipino food, salty and rice is a must that you can't live without. Fish is everyday also if possible
Arabic food, is fatty
Thai food,terribly hot
Phoenix , since u like it , here is a small recipe for you
Steam the banana
Slice it in to pieces
spread some Ghee on it while its hot
lil sugar on top.. get yout fork sit back and enjoy. :D

philippines has many type of banana...that one you saw here are just for export one...all on that pictures we have too...and there are also as small as your fingers...you know filipino sizes..
Only monkeys loves BAnana..lol
wow!
steamed giant bananas? it shall try it. i always see big bananas at family food center, i just thought that size doesn't matter, but obviously in bananas it does:P
Yalla!
Phoenix - thats a banana , boiled.
______________________________________________
- God Gives n Forgivs .. We Gets n Forgets -
The boiled banana is surely delicious...
all spicy? aww too bad for me then.. :(
LOL indeed!u must've tried the less spicy stuff....coz if ur taste buds are sensitive to indian food in general,then Kerala food is sure to give u ulcers!LOL :-P we put in a lot of chilli and spices and we love it!
the "yellow thing" is actually a steamed banana...a powerhouse of energy.just have one steamed banana for breakfast and that's it....u're fit for the day!it's not the normal yellow Philippine bananas u see in the groceries....these are relatively bigger.

lol boston, ok i don't also like hot and spicy lebanese food:) not to mention the crazy american burger donut:)
fair enough?
Yalla!
the only thing i can't bear for indian food is too HOT...as if my mouth burns but really taste is good for some of my preference..
saggi...all of these foods i will expect to be spicy...becoz as far as knew and we also ate mostly indian foods are spicy...
I like chapatti...
Racist, phoenix!
wow svelte i tried some indian food but i needed the firefighters to turn down the fire in my mouth:)
i can't stand hot spicy food, yet i like porata and shrimp biryani from tandour express in cc, just have to take a bath right after to clean up my showering sweat:)
btw, what is the yellow thing in pic no 4?
Yalla!
and i call it choice of taste...

"don't take seafood AT ALL....so it's either Chilly Chicken." I call this racism, svelte!!
we used to ask dad to call up the owner of that place and ask him again and again when they're opening a new place.saw some preliminary banner outside their proposed outlet a few weeks ago.

Boston...talking of food at least doesn't bring in racism and bashing in threads...people are more light-hearted and talk happily....for once!duh!
arien...porotta and anything works great....u're right1but i don't take seafood AT ALL....so it's either Chilly Chicken or Egg Roast combo for me :-)
Going to church no more makes you a Christian than standing in a garage makes you a car. ~ Garrison Keillor
Saggi I remember Palm Grove and their kerala food festival...its a good news if they are opening a take away outlet atleast...they somewhat manage to get the nadan taste...
FS yes it is.. cooked and then coverd with rice mix and fried again.. yum yum
Maggi Porotta with anything my dear.. Red coloured fish chilli curry and hot tea which will make your eyes water .. wow lol

seafood paradise is mouth watering....
oh u really must try traditional Kerala food....it's just heavenly!why don't you try Shalimar restaurant near Kebab King near the crazy signal next time....i think they serve Kerala food.not sure....
Going to church no more makes you a Christian than standing in a garage makes you a car. ~ Garrison Keillor
Both were good. I would go one more time and try something else. I am usually choosy when selecting a meal in a restaurant and as far as all names sound unfamiliar to me, then I leave it for the luck what to get:)
By the way, I saw a restaurant in Alsadd. Behind Royal
Plaza in a corner. There was before a coffee shop there and now it is a restaurant. I forgot its name, but someone told me its good and they serve chinese and filipino food beside the indian
check out the restaurants section on QL....u'll get reviews and location details....but just to give u an idea...
Garden:many branches...one is at The Mall,one in the Le Mirage service apts near old QTel signal
Star of India:just before u reach TV Roundabout
Asiana:near QPost...opposite to the airport
Going to church no more makes you a Christian than standing in a garage makes you a car. ~ Garrison Keillor
locations of these restaurants svelte?
...listen to the sound of silence....
quite an inspiration,eh?but u don't get this food in all indian restaurants.u should go to a restaurant that serves traditional Kerala food to savour these delights.the Palm Grove restaurant that was on the airport road used to serve these dishes but sadly they had to close down coz the building was being pulled down.
for all other dishes,the top choice is Garden Restaurant followed by Star of India and Asiana
