Plain Prata ($1.20) and Egg Prata ($1.80) from Chindamani Indian Restaurant Pte Ltd.
There have been many great reviews about Chindamani Indian Restaurant and their cripsy pratas, and their success is evident from them opening a few outlets across Singapore. To ensure quality, they make their own prata dough and keep them in plastic boxes, ready to feed their hungry customers, and I would be their first customer early one morning.
Plain: 6.5/10. This plain prata came bigger than the egg prata, because of the way it was folded. This unique rectangular shape made the prata very thin and crispy, almost like a cracker. As such, it did not have any fluff as how a plain prata would typically be squashed by the maker as a finishing touch. I personally preferred the layers and fluffy texture in my prata, but this still tasted pretty good, with an adequate amount of grease.
Egg: 7.5/10. Having a more layered texture compared to the plain prata, this also had a reasonably crisp outer layer, though it could have had a bit more char for an added bitter taste. The inside could have a fluffier texture, but it had a good and even distribution of the egg.
Curry: 7/10. Their fish curry was bubbling away in a huge pot, ready to serve customers for the day. Decent flavours from the spices made it quite aromatic, though I preferred more heat and tanginess. The consistency was a little thick, with some chunks and bits coming from the ingredients, making it less fluid
Overall: 7/10. I can see and taste why this is such a popular spot for pratas, and having outlets with consistent standards across Singapore lets you choose whichever location is the most convenient for you. This would work as a good option to satisfy prata cravings in general, but for those who like crispy pratas, this should be on your bucket list. P.S. the geotag address is not accurate, search with the name.
