Prata Crazy

No prize for making a correct guess of what I had for breakfast today. Yup, I had roti prata and homemade teh tarik again! This time, instead of two plain pratas, I replaced one with a plaster prata.

MH, this is for you:

The main difference between a plaster prata and an egg prata is where you find the egg.

In the traditional egg prata, the egg is cracked onto a big piece of prata and the prata man will then fold the prata like an envelope to keep the egg inside.

For a plaster prata, the prata man will put the egg on the prata and he does not fold the prata to encase the egg. Therefore, the egg looks like it has been plastered onto the prata.



I made the plaster prata just to satisfy my curiosity of whether it can be done. As an amateur housewife, eggs appear pretty often on my dinner table. Hence, I really don't need anymore eggs on my pratas. "Less is more" and in this instance, I totally agree.
