…as pointed out by Silver Bullet as a matter of fact kinda way. Honestly, I have to agree with him and I couldn’t stop laughing myself silly. I don’t know what came over me, but I decided to try my hands on making prata. From scratch no less. Ambitious attempt I have to say, but I doughed it out anyway.
Silver Bullet gave up after several attempts in trying to help me flip it round like the prata man. He did the frying instead. My attempts were all unsuccessful of course, but I wasn’t so bent in getting its round shape. I simply just wanted it to be thin and fluffy. That, in itself, was simply hard work. In the hands of a crazy, impatient novice like me, it is mission impossible. Flipping pratas, my friend, is a skill to an art form. I couldn’t even keep the dough thin and fluffed up and it’s not a skill I’m about to master. I was laughing at myself so hard at the end result, and really, I couldn’t be bothered to put in more effort with the flipping. I think, it’s best to leave it to the pros.
The only good thing is, my pratas are edible! With the home-made curry, it didn’t taste half as bad (or as stone hard!) as I thought it would be. Still, I’m not letting myself go through that again. What the hell was I thinking? Think, I’ll just buy it from the prata man next time. 🙂
