DETAILIED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The present invention will be illustrated by way of example with reference to the following embodiments.
Example I
A batch of plain parathas were manufactured according to the following process.
A batch of paratha dough was produced by combining 7.5kg flour, SOOg vegetable oil, 360g salt and 8.0kg of water. The dough was then sheeted, folded and shaped into rectangles. The shaped dough was cooked on an oiled hot plate until crispy golden brown. This produced cooked parathas having a weight of around 50g which were then placed in trays and put in a blast freezer to freeze them to -18°C.
The parathas produced by this method were suitable to be heated from frozen in a toaster.
The parathas were rectangles having length 140mm, width 120mm and thickness 5mm.
Example 2
Stuffed parathas were prepared by stuffing a Lamb Kheema stuffing into a plain paratha.
The Lamb Kheema stuffing comprised minced lamb, spring onions, eggs, crushed chillies, salt and herbs and spices. This stuffing was cooked before being put into the paratha. The parathas were produced according to the method of Example 1 but a slightly larger amount of paratha dough was used for each paratha such that the parathas contained about 30g of filling each and had a total weight of around 90g.
The stuffing was incorporated into the paratha by forming the sheeted dough around the stuffing by laying down a sheet of dough, placing the stuffing on top and placing another sheet of dough on top.
The parathas produced by this method were suitable to be heated from frozen in a toaster.
The parathas were rectangles having length 140mm, width 120mm and thickness 10mm.
It will be appreciated that preferred embodiments of the present invention may provide parathas in a convenient from for consumers.
