Parsley Cumin ParathasRomulo Yanes

Inspired by Monsoon Wedding

Monsoon Wedding is an intensely colorful chronicle of a wealthy northern Indian family's preparations for their daughter's marriage. During the run-up to the event, the bumbling wedding planner falls in love with the family's maid. Food plays a central role in the nuptial festivities.

Cooks' note:

Parathas are best when freshly made, but leftovers can be wrapped in foil and kept at room temperature, then reheated in a 350°F oven.
