Out of habit, I eat chappati with lentils, vegetables, curries or with potato, radish, cauliflower, lentil fillings - typical Punjabi fare. Somehow I eat chappati with certain things, the way I would not do with Gardenia, rye, oat, raisin, foccacia it.
For all those other breads, I can stuff things in between, spread things all over and do whatever else you know to do with bread. Chappati is special. Chappati is consumed Indian style. No less.
Some Frenchman / woman must have invaded ma 'goute' (taste) today and commanded me to the fridge to retrieve Tartare - garlic herb cream cheese (something like that).
I scooped a good spoonful of it onto my chappati and let it melt all over - the way you use butter / ghee to moisten the bread while it's being grilled. And I ate that with my sabji (vegetable dish). Interesting.
Why I haven't experimented this way before? Gee, I don't know, man.
But now that I've broken a habit, there are no limits to the way I ( and maybe you ) can experience chappati or an Indian meal. Or Tartare Ail Et Fines Herbes for that matter!
Available at Carrefour.
PS : I know my French "brother-in-law" eats Indian pickle and Suzi Wong's nonya sambal with his French fare over there!
