About Paratha

Paratha is a traditional flatbread originating from Indian cuisine, beloved for its flaky layers and rich flavor. Typically made from whole wheat flour, water, and optional ingredients like salt, ghee, or oil, the dough is rolled, folded, and cooked on a hot griddle. Parathas can be plain or stuffed with fillings such as mashed potatoes, spinach, paneer, or spiced lentils, adding variety to its appeal. While whole wheat provides fiber and energy-boosting carbohydrates, the cooking method often involves generous amounts of fat, making it calorie-dense. Packed with flavorful spices and customizable fillings, parathas offer a hearty meal or snack but should be consumed in moderation, especially when prepared with high levels of oil or butter. Pairing it with yogurt or fresh vegetables can elevate its nutritional balance. Whether enjoyed at breakfast or dinner, parathas remain a versatile and cherished staple in South Asian households.
