A parantha is a type of flatbread originating from Indian cuisine, widely enjoyed in South Asia and beyond. Typically made from whole wheat flour, it is kneaded into a dough, rolled out, and cooked on a griddle with oil or ghee. Paranthas can be plain or stuffed with various fillings, such as potatoes, spinach, paneer, or lentils, making them highly versatile and satisfying. Nutritionally, a parantha offers fiber and energy from the whole wheat base, while stuffed varieties may add vitamins, minerals, and protein depending on the filling. However, the use of ghee or oil contributes to higher calorie and fat content, which can be a consideration for calorie-conscious individuals. Enjoyed as a hearty breakfast or meal accompaniment, paranthas are typically served with yogurt, pickles, or curries, complementing their rich and comforting flavors. Balancing portion size and preparation methods can make it a wholesome option in a balanced diet.
