Farata

What we know so far

Farata is the Mauritian paratha: a soft, layered flatbread made from plain flour, water, salt and oil, folded so the oil is trapped inside and then cooked on a dry, hot tawa or frying pan. It is eaten at breakfast and at any meal, torn and used to scoop up a cari, a rougaille or a chutney. Alongside dholl puri it is the island's everyday bread.

What claiming it means

1. Cook it the way you actually make it. Change anything in our draft that is wrong, and most of it probably is.
2. Photograph your own, so the page carries a real picture instead of somebody else's.
3. Send it in. An editor reads it, and it publishes with your name on it and a link to your profile.
