NAREN TREK PAGE



Trekking is an adventure of walking in mountains.Its living with nature.We come across rivers,meadows,bamboo forst,pine forest,trees,flowers,birds,animals which keeps us closer to nature.
I have been trekking for 25 years now and have been in himalayas,nilgris,agasthya,himachal,uttaranjal,utt arakand,nepal and lakakh and many more treks.
It has been a fantastic experience living with the nature.The most important part of trek is the adabtablity of body to nature changes in form of rains,snowfall,hailstorm,severe wind,very hot conditions etc.Some treks are conducted at high altitude which are very tough where oxygen level is very low.
India is place full of natural mountains and there are lot of places to trek in himalayas,nilgirs,pothigai,annamalai hills,parts ofpalakad,coorg areas,sayadris,mahrashtra,etc.
To me trekking is a spiritual journey.Its a direct communication with the almighy or god or nature.I learn a lot by going to trek.It takes minumum 2 months to prepare for a trek mentally and physically.Normally in trek the climate is changing often and we need to face tough times also.For a trek a tough mind to face any situation is always necessary.There is always a risk ,but as we learn to be possitive we go ahead.
Another important aspect i learned from trek is self descipline in terms of time,food,clothing etc.In every trek there is always a peak or some pass to be reached.Reaching a peak give us an objective and a goal to be reached.So we mentally get prepared to reach the goal which gives a lot of confidence in our life.
Above all i feel i was able to get wonderful friends in trek.For me freinds are great in life.Friends have been encouraging me a lot in my life
We have international trekking exposure in nepal where we get international trekking expereince.Treks are conducted by yhai,private organisers and its conduced in mostly in may -september depending upon the climatic conditions.
Hope many trekkers share their experiences and share their pics through their posts.

tuticorin parota and macron

Tuticorin parotta and macroon

Thoothukudi Parrota (settu)
தூத்துக்குடி புரோட்டா (செட்டு)

சுவையான செய்திகள்
செட்டு என்று செல்லமாக அழைக்கப்படும் பரோட்டாவின் சுவைக்கு
மயங்காதவர்கள் ஒருவரும் இருக்க முடியாது ! இங்கு
பரோட்டாவை, புரோட்டா அல்லது செட்டு என்றேதான்
சொல்கிறார்கள் !
எண்ணெயில் பொரித்தெடுத்த புரோட்டாக்களை
மணக்க, மணக்க மட்டன் அல்லது கோழி குருமாவோடு
கலந்து வாழை இலையில் ஆவி பறக்க மடித்துக் கொடுக்கும்
ரசனையே தனி ! அதன் சுவையோ
அப்பப்பா....! வெளியூரில் தங்கியிருக்கும்
தூத்துக்குடி வாசிகள் ஊருப்பக்கம் வந்தால்
ரயிலை நிறுத்தியாவது புரோட்டா சாப்பிடாமல்
செல்ல மாட்டார்கள் !
அம்புட்டு ருசி

நீங்களும் தூத்துக்குடிக்கு வந்தா
மறக்காம செட்டு சாப்பிடுங்க !



Thoothukudi Macroon

மக்ரோன்
"தூத்துக்குடிக்கு போகிறேன்னு" யாராவது
சொன்னால் உடனே தெரிந்தவர்கள்,
தெரியாதவர்கள் என அனைவரும் சொல்லிவிடுவது
"வரும்போது மக்ரோன் வாங்கிட்டு வாங்கன்னு"
அந்தளவுக்கு தூத்துக்குடி மக்ரோன் famous !
தமிழ் நாட்டில் மட்டுமல்ல, வெளி நாடுகளிலும்,
தூத்துக்குடி மக்ரோனுக்கு தனி மவுசுதான் !
முந்திரி, சர்க்கரையை பிராதான பொருளாக கொண்டு
தயாரிக்கப்படும் மக்ரோனை, வாயில் போட்டதுமே
கரையும் ருசியே ருசிதான் !
யாராவது தூத்துக்குடிக்கு போனா
நீங்களும் சொல்லிவிடுங்கள் !

tuticorin parotta special

Poricha Parota(Paratha) / Poritha Parota / Deep Fried Layered Indian Bread – Tirunelveli & Thoothukudi (Tuticorin) Special


Even if I am in the top most tension or totally pissed off with my day, thinking that I am gonna eat parota with salna and chicken fry tonight makes me so enthusiastic and happy..I don't know how that happens , but it happens. I am not talking about the parota which you get in the big 5 star hotels and restaurants where they make perfection in each layer, it is the one which you find in roadside small shops where they make it so amazingly quick and homely. 

Me and my mom often go to buy these parotas from those shops, I always stare at those parota masters(we call the people who make parota as "Masters") and their hands, it like a magic..yes they will keep on talking to my mom at the sametime they will be spinning and flattering these parotas with their hands..I can tell you that making parota is a work of art..Not everyone can make parota..But if you have the "WillPower" to make, I can promise you that becoming masters is not that tough.


Normally parotas are made by just pan frying those layered bread  and crushing it, which I have made and posted here..But poricha parota is one kind which my friend shabi got for me from her place. Her native is tirunelveli and this parota is a famous stuff over there..It was so crispy on the outside and fluffy and soft in the middle and eating them with that spicy salna is like heaven. I decided that second to give it a try..



I searched in google about this parota and got a information that this one is not only famous in tirunelveli, it is also famous in thoothukudi/Tuticorin from this video. Now I am on a mission to make it famous world wide. I also tried thattu kadai chicken salna(street food salna) to go with this, which  I will post tomorrow.. I found it pretty easy to make it at home too, you can get more or less the same result. I have attached a video of mine for making the perfect parota fleets. I hope this will help you a lot..Ok here you go to the recipe and try it ASAP.


Ingrediants:

 All Purpose Flour / Maida – 500 gms
Salt to taste
Sugar – 1 tblspn
Water as needed
Oil- 4 tblspn+ frying parota

Method:

Take flour, salt and sugar in a mixing bowl and mix well. Add water and make into a soft dough.

Apply some oil over the dough and knead well. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 3-4 hours.

Divide into equal portions. Apply oil on the work surface.

 Take one dough ball and roll into a very thin chapatti. Then take one end and start making fleats out of it.. Now start rolling from one end and make into a round shape.(Refer picture and video). Now apply some oil and let it rest for 5 mins.

Now take one roll and spread into a medium size parota.  Finish the entire batch like this.

Heat a tawa and also a kadai of oil for deep frying.

put the parota on the tawa. Cook on both sides for 30 sec. Now take it out and put in hot oil and fry till light golden.

Remove and crush it with your hands.

Serve with salna or any korma.
