Preface of the subject:

This module helps in gaining knowledge about breakfast cookery, Indian sweets and snacks
and techniques and skill required for preparing it. To provide fundamental knowledge about
the tools, equipment, utensils, cooking method and techniques required for Indian breakfast,
sweets and snacks.

Professional Requirements:

The emphasis of a food service education, whether in baking and pastry or in the
hot kitchen, is on learning a set of skills. But in many ways, attitudes are more important
than skills because a good attitude will help you not only learn skills but also to
persevere and overcome the difficulties you may face in your career.

Mastery of skills is, of course, essential to success. There are, in addition, a number of
general personal qualities that are equally important for the new pastry chef or baker just
graduated from school who wants to advance in the industry. The important
characteristics are Eagerness to Work, Commitment to Learning, Dedication to Service
and Professional Pride.

further roll it with a rolling pin in left upwards and right downwards movement or counter clockwise
direction, do not press it hard while rolling, or the filling may come out.

like sandwich, press the edges to seal and roll it flat without applying too much pressure.
• Set a hot tawa on medium heat, put the uncooked paratha over the hot tawa and cook it briefly from one
side until light golden brown, flip and cook again briefly, now apply ghee or oil or butter and cook on
both the sides until it starts to fluff and the paratha turns nice golden brown in colour.
• Cook all the parathas in the same way and make as many as you wish to, you're hot, tasty, Punjabi style
aloo paratha is ready, serve it with some freshly churned homemade white butter, or your favourite
pickle or any dip of your choice.

Note: Paneer paratha - Another popular one from North India with spicy paneer filling.
Gobi paratha - Again one more from Punjab or North India where grated cauliflower is cooked with few spices to make
stuffing.
