Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for "Fifth of May") is a regional holiday in some parts of Mexico. The holiday celebrates the victory of Mexican army over the French forces in the Battle of Peubla on May 5th, 1862.
I made a mexican dinner to celebrate it at home. Here's my plate with Sweet Corn & Pepper quesadillas, Rice & beans, Guaca-salsa & a dollop of sour cream.

ReplyDeleteHi Pavani, about your question-- I get durum atta from the Indian grocery. Whole Foods stocks it sometimes but of course it's marked up like crazy. I definitely advise using it because it is perfect for Indian breads. The regular whole-wheat flour, in my experience, tends to make the chapatis/parathas too dense and hard. Hope that helps :)
ReplyDeleteI love Mexican food. Everything looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteThat's one colorful and yum looking plate, Pavani!
