LOVE that Arabic proverb Sawsan! Everyone takes on a share of their name. Beautiful. Unless of course the name given is unkind – I once worked in an elections office and came across 2 registered voters – twins – Ima and Ura Pigg. Honestly! I pray they each married someone with a last name like Beauty or Lovely.

The chutney has always been a fab of mine too. I was introduced to it by a friend in Mumbai who is a Parsee. She served it spread in the most delicate cucumber sandwiches with afternoon tea. They were delicious and when I buy this chutney when I can it is a fab way to use it. However, now, I am going to try and make it myself, thank you dear Spree.

I had something similar to this fabulousness in mind for tomorrow’s lunch, and now you’ve confirmed it as a necessity. You little genius you!

Consider this bookmarked! I love stuffed parathas, and green chutney is an old favourite too and I always like to try different versions. Thanks for sharing

I love Indian food and I can’t wait to try that raita. The whole meal sounds like and amazing celebration and a great way to start the day.
I loved the idea of someone growing into their name, there is an arabic proverb with a similar meaning. It roughly translates into.. Everyone takes on a share of their name. As if the name grows on you or as you put it, you grow into it

I don’t think I would have this as breakfast but I would certainly love it for lunch or dinner.

This is a beautiful post and tribute to an amazing man who is lit from within… Parantha is the best breakfast on the planet….And this chutney is so delicious I could drink it as a smoothie!

Thanks so much Wendy. DEFinitely doable! And if I were looking to save a little time, I’d use store-bought naan or pita, and serve with the accompanying sides. Really scrumptious breakfast!
