Parathas make star appearances in several Bollywood films, echoing the Indian public’s love for them. One film in which parathas make a charming addition to the plot is Mujhse Dosti Karoge! staring Hrithik Roshan,  Rani Mukherji and Kareena Kapoor. In it, Rani’s character, Pooja, visits Hrithik’s character, Raj in London and announces  her arrival by walking into his office with a tiffin of gobi parathas, knowing he loves them. The gobi parathas pave the way for a romance between the two.

The Power of Parathas

Yes, the parathas were that important. When well prepared, parathas can go a long way in helping along a romance or even a friendship.

Parathas are flat breads popular in North India made by baking whole wheat dough on a tawa and then shallow frying them. Parathas can either be made plain or stuffed – gobi parathas, for instance are stuffed with cauliflowers.

Parathas are eaten plain, with a spread of butter or dipped into dahi, pickles or curries.

Serve these gobi parathas for breakfast, lunch or dinner and a side curry if desired.
