Rice, Biryani, Bread & Sweets

We Indian eat our delicious vegetarian or non-vegetarian curries with equally tasty breads or rice preparation.
 
Our breads are flat in shape and are divided into: -
 
Plain bread: Called as chapatti, roti
Baked in the oven bread: called as Tandoori roti
Leavened bread with eggs etc: Called as Tandoori Nan
Bread made with butter: Called as paratha

We can stuff our parathas to get many different tasty parathas such as:-

• Potato paratha
• Methi paratha( Mix vegetable with flour)
• Muli paraths(horse raddish)

Deep fried breads: Called as Puree, or poori e.g plain unleavened puree and leavened Bhatura puree       
 
Our Rice preparations are also varied and these are:- 

• Plain boiled rice
• Pillaos: Simple pillao (pilaf) of many types e,g cumin rice pillao, peas pillao, mixed vegetable pillao ,chicken/lamb/fish pillaos etc
• Sophisticated Biryani: such as Moglai chicken/lamb/fish biryani cooked with cream, fruits and nuts and flavouring of essence.
   

We Indians are very fond of our sweetmeats although to make such sweetmeats at home require skill and a lot of experience.
 
In this book I had given only some easy to make sweetmeats as shown in the photograph showing Bombay halve made with corn flour and sugar.
