Bean Curd with Mushrooms : page 100

The individual components of this recipe were tasty and although the sauce had good flavor it was a little too thick and gummy for me (too much cornstarch?). I used dried red pepper flakes instead of the whole dried red chilies but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Will definitely make again but adjust the ingredients for the sauce.

I first had parathas in Singapore and was instantly hooked on this decadent bread! For this recipe I used a mixture of whole wheat white flour and all purpose in place of the chapati flour. I used the full cup water and the dough seemed slightly stiff but after the rest (I left it for one hour) it was really soft and easy to work with. These are fun to make and very delicious! Next I will try some stuffed with cheese or even sugar.
