One small parantha is a traditional flatbread originating from Indian cuisine, made by rolling out whole wheat dough, generously brushed with oil or ghee, and cooked on a hot griddle. Commonly stuffed with a variety of ingredients such as spiced potatoes, paneer, or vegetables, parantha is flavorful and versatile. While whole wheat provides fiber and essential nutrients, the addition of oil or ghee raises its calorie and fat content, making it an indulgent option. The fillings contribute to its nutritional profile; for instance, potato-stuffed parantha offers carbs for energy, whereas paneer adds protein and calcium. A small parantha consumed in moderation can fit into a balanced diet, especially when paired with yogurt or vegetables to enhance its nutritional benefits. However, caution is advised for individuals keeping an eye on calorie intake or saturated fat due to its preparation method. Perfect for a quick meal or snack, parantha is a celebrated staple in Indian households.
