Sardine Stuffed Paratha - Val Law 

Today I tried an experiment for my Ration Challenge. When it gets to the real thing, I don't want to be wasting any precious food on ideas which don't work. So today I tried my idea for a sardine stuffed paratha. I drained and preserved the oil from an identical tin of sardines to that in the ration, removed and mashed up half a sardine. Then I made a dough with 50gms flour, 1 dessertspoon vegetable oil, half a teaspoon of salt and enough water to form a smooth dough. Rested it for half an hour, then rolled it out thin, brushed with the sardine oil and sprinkled with a little of my chosen spice, hot smoked paprika. Rolled into a cigar shape, which I then coiled and rested for another half hour. Rolled it out again, brushed with sardine oil again, spread the mashed sardine on top, folded into a neat little packet, brushed both sides with oil and fried until golden and crispy. I think I can declare a successful experiment. Really tasty and half a sardine goes a very long way!
