battle of the flat breads

At lunch on week days, sometimes we go to Coconut Lagoon restaurant.  One bread they have there is different from those naan breads usually seen in Indian buffets. It tastes more like Pillsbury dough and is very flaky: the paratha.  My colleague mentioned to me that these can be found in the frozen food aisle, so I tried a few.

Spring Home Roti Paratha. It is ok but not as good as the real thing in the restaurant.  They come frozen and you put them in a hot frying pan for 4 minutes.











Shana Plain Naan.  Disgusting. I got it in Loblaws when I couldn't find any parathas.  Do not buy.  I had to throw it out.



















Shana Garlic Paratha.  I guess they figure they don't ever need to mention if something has hot pepper flakes in it. Inedible.


















Shana Onion Paratha.  I know it's going to be hot.  I am going to just throw it out before eating. I give up.


















 ORIGINAL flavour is OK




















how to cook: put frozen one on frying pan for 2 minutes each side on medium heat





























I got this one from T&T.  The sesame seeds make it worse.  Plain is better.














The worst ones ever. stuck to the pans, flavourless, etc.. I started to think What the heck?  Third world flavour? and I checked the back - made in Pakistan.  Shame on T&T for selling this crappy product.

















Handmade Golden Sweet Potato Crepes, also from T&T.  What a disgrace.  Inedible.
