Say what? Puff Paratha? Never heard of it? Me too . . . until pal Shar told me about it. It comes frozen, five in a pack. Around $4 . . . I think . . . I kinda forget already.
She directed me to this obscure (to me) Asian-type market on Kaumualii Street. I loved the market . . . it's spacious and clean and got all kine stuff.
I was shocked when I opened up the package. I didn't expect it to be doughy, so I had thrown it into the 'fridge instead of the freezer when I got home. Each piece comes sandwiched between plastic sheets and WHEN FROZEN easily peels off.
I fried it up in a little bit (no need too much) of Hokkaido butter (because I have!!!). It puffs up and browns in seconds.
Aunty had it with her hamburger stew. I've eaten it several times already. I looooooove it. I gotta go back and buy some more.
Here's the hamburger stew recipe if you like um: Jalna's Hamburger Stew.

Mmm, your stew looks scrumptious! Haven't seen that puff thingee here.
Wow, looks ono. Is it an Indian bread? Sort of looks like it.
I'll buy for you next time I go, Les.
Thanks, Susan. First time for me with the puff thing too.
I think it might be, Erick.
You can also get Paratha at the Indian Market in Moilili at 2357 S Beretania St.
They also have stuffed paratha which is filled with curried potatoes and vegetables - so good. Gotta keep it frozen until you cook it though.

Your stew looks delicious!
Maybe I should check Asian markets ova hea for that!!
Jalna.....why you like try make me stay so hungry? .....hehe
looks like a roti prata.
Myra, I pass by that store all the time! Gotta go check it out now . . . especially for the one with the filling! Thanks!
Thanks Renee. It's plain though so you gotta season to taste.
For sure, Moki!
Funny, Mark. Cannot help.
I had to look up "roti prata", Anon. Looks like already got butter or oil in it. Maybe I no need put butter in the pan when I fry it up.
OK I have to write this name down too. Looks delicious! I have many places to visit in Hawaii thanks to you.
I hope you get to try it, Akemi!
Oh No! That sign! It's not Snow Ice!
It's Shave Ice!
