Sumeru is all set for an Italian makeover! Sumeru, the leader in frozen parathas, in collaboration with the maverick chef, Manoj Padmanaban of Big Bandha, launches the Baked Paratha Lasagne
Think of your favourite comfort food, the anytime-anywhere-anyplace-any season food that you naturally gravitate to. Bet on it, it’s the paratha at least 7-8 times out of 10. The ubiquitous North Indian parathas or parotta as they refer to it in South India is a popular flatbread made of flour. The paratha is stuffed with vegetables and usually served with yoghurt and pickles or mint chutney. In South India, the parotta is a slightly different take on the North Indian variety but equally popular and go-to comfort food and mostly consumed with curry. The paratha or parotta’s versatility lends itself to a perfect breakfast, lunch or snack, and dinner dish.
But the paratha or the parotta does require some effort and time to cook. With the rush-rush of work, school, working parents, students living in hostels, or young executives living in PG digs, the whole “what to cook for breakfast” or “what to pack for children’s lunch box?” is stressful and a chore. Moreover, our palates are also seeking something new, exciting, different yet tasty and going beyond the traditional, to counter the sense of ennui. If this take on the traditional comfort food could actually be a meal-in-a-jiffy then it’s a sure-shot winner!
