About Lentil paratha

Lentil Paratha is a flavorful Indian flatbread made by stuffing whole wheat dough with spiced lentil filling. Typically packed with protein-rich lentils such as moong or chana dal, the paratha is seasoned with aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric. A staple in Indian cuisine, it is popular for its satisfying texture and hearty taste. Lentil Paratha offers a balanced combination of carbohydrates, plant-based protein, and fiber, making it a nutritious meal or snack. The use of whole wheat flour and lentils supports digestion, helps maintain energy levels, and keeps you fuller for longer. However, cooking it with excessive oil, ghee, or butter can increase its calorie and fat content, so moderation and healthier preparation methods like minimal frying are key. Paired with yogurt, pickles, or fresh vegetables, Lentil Paratha is both wholesome and delicious.
