Chocolate parathas
I made some chocolate filled parathas today, they were quite tasty. It was an experiment, will write down the recipe later. Here are a couple of pictures; http://www.facebook.com/mamtaskitchen
...or served with dollops of fresh cream.
that as well :-)
Would one of those chocolate spreads work instead of grating chocolate ?

Probably will be too wet, ooze out during rolling out, but worth a try. I haven't bought since girls were very young and at home, so don't know. You going to give it a try?
I suppose a thin layer might be ok when rolling, but I won't be trying it as we really don't have sweet tooths so rarely make sweet things :-)

Nor do we, Steve, but the French love their puds, so, when we have French guests, we HAVE to do something.
Sometimes we do pears 'Belle H?l?ne', but if they're fairly close friends, we cheat, and serve up tiramisu in plastic tubs, bought from the supermarket.

Simplest dessert to make and yet seems to impress beyond it's ingredients - lemon posset.
Best of all, you can freeze individual ramekins and it's good on defrosting again.

OMG chocolate parathas!! not for me. There are also chilli chocolate on sale. What next??
Chilli chocolate is very popular and actually works very well. Chocolate was discovered in central / South America and was commonly enjoyed there with chilli... so it's really just a large circle back to its history.
When I make chilli con carne, I add some dark chocolate, it gives a richness of flavour.
There's a company here in UK who serve unsweetened hot chocolate - they treat the cocoa beans same as coffee beans and it works very well indeed.
Point taken, Kavey, though I still don't fancy the idea.
Rajneesh: I agree entirely re chocolate paratha. Still, paratha is a kind of bread, and we have chocolate bread (pain chocolat) here in France. But I still can't get my head around chocolate paratha!
Phil
Oh absolutely. I don't generally enjoy the bars with chilli added though I often like recipes which feature both chilli (just a tiny bit) and chocolate.
If we all liked the same things life would be so boring! :-)
