My daughter is showing more interest in learning to cook and asking a lot of questions while I am cooking, and the other day, she asked me if she could help roll out, stuff, and cook a paratha. I really didn't expect her to be able to do it, but she did an awesome job with the whole process! I was really happy for her when the bread began to puff... She was excited to watch this happen. I remember when I would get so frustrated by flat, rock hard or chewy bread. 
This time I tried something different with the dough, I used 1 cup of wheat flour, and 1 cup of besan, I thought this would make it a little healthier and I wanted something different. The stuffing was from (of course, my fav.) Betty Crocker's Indian Home Cooking.

Wow.. she has done an amazing job and stuffed parathas are usually tough. It's so nice when our kids help us out in the kitchen no?
Your daughter is so cute! How nice that she is learning from you.
meeso, i love your blog and here is why:
the foods you prepare: things you eat everyday and just from a glance (i will go back to check it all out), indian which i love.
just this first post i've read, your daughter is helping you with dinner. my own mother was not receptive to me being in the kitchen with her and i think it's wonderful that you're encouraging her interest in this.
~ Thanks, everyone :)
Thanks for your nice comments in my blog Messo!

Wonderful,my parathas never puff so well.Chelsea,sure has got the knack in making parathas,lazy me never cared to learn until after marriage.The besan and flour mix for the dough sounds good,must try it sometime:)
Girl...great job at teaching ur daughter...n soon I will be asking u for Indian Cooking tips.:)

How cute! And it took me a very looong time to actually be able to stuff parathas and make it work! Hope you are doing well, Meeso.

Ok I am going to have to make this. You all make it look so easy but when it comes to making bread for me, UGH forget it. And I love bread UGH...
~ Thanks, Vishali!
~ Thanks, Noor... Believe me, I didn't always make bread well, it was quite a struggle for quite a while, just keep trying new things, and practicing, an eventually, you will get it :)
