20 Years of Chhaya Paratha House: Why Generations of Tata Motors Staff Eat Here

There’s a reason Chhaya Paratha House has been a staple in Ajmera for over two decades.

It’s not just about the food; it’s about the history. I met people here who started coming as students, then as employees at Tata Motors, and now they bring their daughters. That kind of loyalty is rare.

The owner is Bengali, which gives the non-veg parathas a distinct flavor you won’t find at your typical paratha joint. We tried the Gobi and Aloo thalis, but the real surprise was the Chicken and Mutton paratha thali—the preparation is authentic and heavy on taste.

If you’re in Pimpri-Chinchwad and want a meal that feels like it has a soul, this is the spot.

�Stop eating boring boiled veggies! 🥦🔥

I saw this Garlic Sesame Beans Fry all over Instagram and had to give it a try. If you’re looking to add more fiber to your diet without the bland taste, this is your new go-to. It’s crunchy, garlicky, and has that perfect umami kick from the soy sauce.

✅ Quick Tip: Don’t skip the cold water bath after blanching—it keeps the beans bright green and extra crunchy!

Recipe Summary
Prep time: 5 mins | Cook time: 5 mins | Serves: 1-2
Ingredients:
• Fresh Green Beans: 250g (ends trimmed and cut into halves)
• Garlic: 1 large bulb (crushed/minced)
• Sesame Seeds (Til): 1-2 tablespoons
• Soy Sauce: 1-2 teaspoons
• Oil: 1 tablespoon (Olive oil or Sesame oil preferred)
• Salt: For blanching
• Broccoli: (Optional, for extra crunch)
Instructions:
1. Blanch: Boil water with a pinch of salt. Add the beans (and broccoli if using) and cook on high heat for exactly 2 minutes.
2. Shock: Immediately drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. This preserves the “snap.”
3. Sauté Garlic: Heat oil in a pan. Add the crushed garlic and sauté until it turns golden brown and the raw smell disappears.
4. Add Crunch: Toss in the sesame seeds and fry until they start to pop.
5. Stir Fry: Add the blanched beans. Stir fry on high heat for 1-2 minutes.
6. The Finish: Pour in the soy sauce, toss well to coat, and serve hot!
