This paratha recipe came from one of my distant relatives who visited our home during a family emergency. Amid all the tension, she offered to take over the kitchen for one meal and made these delicious parathas for all of us for breakfast. The comfort it brought surprised us all.
I asked for the method and she scribbled it on tissue. I recreated it during a tired weekday later on. My husband said it had strength, and the boys felt comforted. Now, it is our crisis-calm dish. That day reminded me that in moments of worry, some people do not speak much but they just serve peace on plates and leave a recipe that stays long after.
