Announcing an event ... 'Side dish for chapathi'
Indians make many kinds of flat breads namely roti, chapathi (chapati), naan, paratha, parotta etc., using wheat flour. Spicy curries are served as side dish.
The side dish for those flat breads play a major role in the dinning table. If you cannot make a delicious side dish, then the whole lot of bread will remain untouched. It is always a trouble for me to choose a perfect match for my roties.
So I decided to host an event 'Side dish for chapathi' , that can help many .
I invite you all to bring out your amazing side dishes to make the event a great success.
Here are some rules:
1) Make any side dish that suits Roti / chapathi/ naan/ paratha/ parotta / any flat bread / fried flat bread (poori) and post the same in your blog . No need to describe the roti procedure. But you can send the whole spread too.
Link back to this announcement. Feel free to use the logo.
You can send in your entries from the archive also, provided they are re-posted for this event between Aug 5 and Sep 5, 2009.
2)Multiple entries are always welcome. All edible ingredients are accepted.
The choice is endless. I will be glad if the side dish is more authentic . You can post some famous side dish of your region / state too. But you can post any dish of your choice also.
