Paratha of white flour is a traditional flatbread originating from South Asia, commonly enjoyed in Indian, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi cuisines. It is made by kneading refined white flour into a dough, often enriched with a pinch of salt and oil, and then rolled out into layers before being cooked on a griddle with ghee or vegetable oil. While paratha is celebrated for its rich, flaky texture and versatility, it is relatively high in calories and low in essential nutrients due to the use of refined flour, which lacks fiber. The cooking method, often involving generous amounts of fat, can further contribute to high cholesterol and calorie content. While paratha is delicious and satisfying, it is best consumed in moderation as part of a balanced meal, and incorporating whole wheat or multigrain flour can make it a healthier alternative.
