It is nice to see Indian recipes appearing in ATK. But you could have asked Kaumudi and Meera to make the recipe – it would have been more authentic – and ATK has to be practical about measurements – what is eight and third oz of flour and half cup and one tablespoon of water ? Wouldn't it be nice to say 250 gms of flour and half cup of water to start with and add as needed – who has the time to measure id precise ozs like this – just say in cups or grams – wouldn't that be easy for all – Please ATK
This isn't Punjabi it's Haryanvi, Punjabis love stealing from us Haryanvi's
I love me some Pradas!
This one time, I woke up, had four of these with a glass of buttermilk, and then I just dozed off and slept the whole day !
It looks like a pancake samosa (which is NOT a bad thing!)
Awesome
Kudos to Erin for pronouncing the hard ThA (ठा ) at the end of "paratha"!
Where's the tomato onion salad recipe? I have a membership, and none of them look like what's in the video.
Hey how I didn't subscribe this earlier❤

This is how to make ghee
Your next Turkish dish recipe might be Hünkarbeğendi. 🤤😉
Erin did a great job here! of course, specific recipes can vary from even one house to the next, but this was still good!
– y'all are in Boston, surely there are plenty of Indian grocery stores where they sell Indian spicy chillies?
– ok, your friend's mom uses maida and that's why you followed that here using AP flour, but the majority of parathas are made with atta (stone-ground whole wheat flour)
hahaha i haven't seen Julia being this happy in tasting for a while
Omg you butchered the pronunciation of everything 😅
8 1/3 ounces? You mean a cup?
Please stop using vegetable oils (corn, canola, cottonseed, etc.) in your cooking. It is an industrial lubricant that is killing millions of Americans each year. Use NATURAL fats: tallow, butter, EVOO, avocado oil. Truly disgusting and impressive to see cooking expert using such nasty ingredients. SHAME ON YOU!
Please learn how to pronounce "Punjab" properly at least.
Could you please translate the measurements into metric?
I'll make these, but my spice blend is going to be… jarred garam masala. Because I'm in Eastern Europe, lol.
Nobody in India makes this with refined/all purpose flour. It's always made with whole wheat flour. Other than that, it's a good recipe!
Oh good god! So ridiculous! When has an Indian housewife ever used scales and rulers to make parathas? Watch an Indian video if u want to learn.
it's hard to tell butt Aron has fabulous breasts
we need a lot more indian dishes featured on this channel
Nah!
Lefse When?
Looks delicious 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Is there some reason Kaumudi, the Indian coworker, isn't presenting the recipe?
Awesome! Can't wait for ATK to make dosas!
Over a billion Indians in the world and they got the whitest woman possible to teach this recipe 🙄
Rad
I don’t know why but I always find it so funny when ATK pulls out a ruler while cooking haha
would be nice if they offered Kamaldi the chance to showcase her own receipe
Erin should ask her colleague if she's from the south west of India. This is distinctively like the ones my mom makes. They look wonderful!
Terlihat sangat lezat, saya menyukainya
Hey, why do you take care to get the pronunciation of french foods right, but not check how Alu paratha is pronounced?
Edit: Erin does a wonderful job!! Instant respect!❤
That looks good especially for a change.
You guys reading my mind or something?
Thank you. I've never seen this kind of bread before. I am going to have to try this. ❤
(536) YUM. Love a stuffed paratha.
Going Woke
And using Plastic
Plastic and more Plastic
Lmfao
Serving with a fruit jam is also a classic!
Please make these Indian dishes with enough spice if you’re going to share them.
This is so interesting. I married into an Indo-Caribbean family and it is interesting to see the variations in these dishes.
❤
My friend introduced me to Indian food years ago– HEAVEN!! Sadly, my favorite restaurants are long gone…😢 And now my favorite cooking channel is making some Indian food? I'm so excited– if anyone can teach me how not to screw it up, it's you guys! I can't believe I might get to have Indian food again! I hope you do other Indian fare as well! Take good care!😊
This looks awesome. As a potato lover, I love seeing how other cultures use the spud.
Why not have the Punjabi co-worker be on camera?
Looks great. Erin's delivery is neat and easy to follow.
I love this!!!! And yes as some commenters are saying there’s so much variations on alu parathas — every family has its own recipe. Lots of room to experiment (filling, spices, flour type) to find the one that you like the best.
