Bob Morales posted:What's the/is there a difference between paratha and chiapatis? I have had both which seemed like the same thing, and I buy them at the local indian grocer from the frozen section. Chapati is just flat rolled flour/water dough cooked and puffed over open flame.  Paratha is rolled up, then pressed and rolled flat so it has many layers, almost like puff pastry.  Like a naan, paratha can be stuffed with meat or veg but they're just fine plain. IMO the greatest bread is fried chapati aka puri:

Prepackaged naan are universally terrible, but paratha or roti are tolerable (they're thinner and reheat nicely)

Seconded. I've started making my own red and green Thai-style pastes and I'm never going back. Just need a penang and a massaman now.

I'd pound it well with something heavy then slice very very fine - or leave in large chunks to fish out afterwards. You're right, it doesn't really soften.
