Why I Love Canberra

Normally when we ask the main city in Australia most of people will answer like it’s Melbourne. But,the main city in Australia is Canberra. Why Canberra is good ? Because it is orginized in a very clean and neat manner. Most of the daily needs of people can be fulfilled their need as they want. And also this is a very small city in Australia.

The parliament which make the decisions of the country is situated in this small nice city. And also there are lot of places which people can visit and this is a very calm and quiet place. The people who live in here are very humble and they always help each other. If someone ask from me like what is the most developed most suitable city to live ? My answer will be its Canberra. You guys also come and visit this beautiful city because of these above mentioned qualities in this city .also the main good quality which I have seen In this city is that the people who live in this city always respect the other cultures.

Because of this reason this city is taken as the best city out of whole world. As the seat of the government of Australia Canberra is home to many important institutions as federal government, national monuments and museums as I mentioned above.

Bread & Roti Fish Recipes

Vegetable Roti

This Gothamba roti is an imported dish from Malaysia where this is a type of flat bread made of wheat flour and is known as Roti Canai or Roti Chanai. In those days this was available mostly in Malay restaurants or eating houses but now it is widely available and is a common dish in Yarlpanam. Roti Chanai is believed to have been brought to Malaysia by the migrant workers from Madras or Chennai. Canai in Malay means ‘to knead’. In English Roti Canai is often referred to as ‘flying bread’ a term meaning the process of tossing and spinning by way of which it is made. It is called Veechchu roti in Tamil due to the way it thrown about to make it thin.This is a dish that can be eaten at breakfast, lunch or dinner and even as a snack. In Malaysia this is served 24 hours a day and is also a favourite midnight snack. It is also consumed as an appetizer in Malaysian restaurants.

There is another very similar dish – Parotta from India which is discussed later.
This is composed of flour, water and fat of some kind usually ghee or clarified butter or vegetable oil

  • Ingredients:
  • 1 kg      Flour
  • 1 no      Eggs
  • 1 tsp     Sugar
  • 2 tbsp  Ghee/butter  of oil
  • Water as needed
  • Salt to taste
  • Method:
  • Sieve the flour and salt into mixing bowl.Mix the ghee / oil first and add water and  egg keep mixing until the dough is of smooth medium and non sticky consistency.Cover the bowl with wet cloth and allow it to rest for 3 hours to soften.
  • Then the entire mixture is kneaded well, flattened, oiled and folded repeatedly. This is then allowed to rise further for 20 minutes.Repeat the process of folding and kneading.Finally the dough is divided into many dough balls of the size of golf balls or little larger, dipped in oil and left under a wet muslin cloth cover to prevent it from drying.Then each ball is taken out, flattened on an oily platform and spread out first by hand and then by a gentle process of spinning and tossing to make it as thin as possible.Alternatively you can roll into a thin sheet and pull at its edges  to stretch out and become thin.Then the edges are folded to form a big square (about 10 inches).This is then cooked on flat iron skillet with oil spread on it.This is fried on both sides to make the process complete.This is  ‘roti  tisu’ or tissue bread and it is known as Veechchu roti in Jaffna. The names reflect the process of spinning and spreading the roti. The act of spinning and tossing is a process you can watch with amazement and it is an art which you will have to learn.This can also be made round without spinning and tossing but flattened to a round form and frying on the skillet.
  • Serve with:Traditionally it is served with dhal curry or meat curry.
  • Variations:With fried eggsKothu RotiRoti with various fillings such as meat of some kind or vegetable mix
