Who doesn’t like parathas? A staple North Indian bread that can be found in every home has found its way to the culinary scene of Australia. With the growing number of best paratha restaurants in Oakleigh, more & more locals are trying out Indian dishes for brunch, breakfast and also dinner! So much so that the culinary scene is about to explode in the next few years.
However, as delicious as they are, parathas are not wholesome on their own. You definitely need to pair them with some slides, even if it is as simple as pickles. Even if you order stuffed parathas, you still need some accompaniment to go with them. So, here’s a list of some amazing sides to try with parathas:
O1. Pickles (Spell it “Aa-chaa-r”)
There’s no shortage of variations when it comes to pickles. You can try carrot, garlic, mango or mixed vegetable pickle with parathas. The tangy zest, along with the richness of Indian spices, will surely tantalise your taste buds.
O2. Gobi Manchurian (Gobi is Cauliflower)
A lightly spiced cauliflower dish with a Chinese twist, this is a smash hit at our best Indian restaurant in Melbourne. You can pair it up with fluffy parathas and boy-oh-boy; you’ll surely be wanting more. What we prefer to call ‘Indo-Chinese’, we have levelled up the taste factor up a notch by adding our own secret masala.
O3. Paneer Tikka (Cottage Cheese Desi Style)
Before you say it’s a starter item, let us tell you it is an amazing pairing with parathas and kulcha (a smaller Indian fluffy bread). What makes it so delicious is the burst of flavours. The tikka masala is robust, which goes easily with the fluffiness of parathas. You can pair it with raita (a light palette cleanser) to wash it all down. Plus, the curd used in the raita also brings down the hotness of the chillis.
O4. Malai Chicken Tikka (Creamy Chicken Dish)
Arguably the star of the menu at the best paratha restaurants in Clayton, this divine Punjabi dish is the perfect side for parathas. Not too robust nor too light – this unique malai blend makes the dish oh-so-tasty! By the way, don’t forget to polish off the plate with your paratha – that’s the authentic way to finish off the malai gravy from your plate. Make sure to use your hands this time – thank us later!
O5. Amritsari Fish (Or, Machhi)
Using the freshwater singhara or sole fish, it is carefully fried so that the outside is rendered crispy, but the inside remains tender and juicy. It is not only a perfect snack for the evening but also an excellent addition to the paratha and pickle. Super delicious and moderately spiced, you can find this dish at any popular Indian joint in Australia.
