About Farata
Farata, also known as paratha, is a popular flatbread originating from Indian cuisine and widely enjoyed in Mauritius and other parts of South Asia. Made from wheat flour, water, and a pinch of salt, the dough is rolled thin, layered with ghee or oil, and folded multiple times to create its signature flaky texture. It is typically pan-fried to a golden-brown perfection and often served alongside curries, chutneys, or stews. While farata is a delicious and versatile dish, its nutritional profile depends largely on preparation. Whole wheat flour provides dietary fiber and essential nutrients, contributing to digestive health and sustained energy. However, its high fat content, due to the use of ghee or oil, can make it calorie-dense, so portion control is recommended. Opting for minimal oil or healthier alternatives can help make this comforting flatbread a more balanced option.
