About Parathas
Parathas are a classic unleavened flatbread originating from South Asia, particularly India and Pakistan. Traditionally made with whole wheat flour, water, and ghee or oil, these breads are layered, rolled, and often pan-fried, resulting in a crispy, flaky texture. Parathas can be stuffed with fillings like potatoes, paneer, spinach, or lentils, adding nutritional variety. They are popular as a breakfast dish or served alongside curries and yogurt-based sides. While whole wheat provides fiber and sustained energy, the use of ghee or oil increases the fat and calorie content, making moderation important for balanced diets. Some fillings, such as spices, vegetables, or legumes, offer vitamins, minerals, and plant-based protein, enhancing the nutrition profile. Parathas are versatile, offering wholesome elements alongside indulgence, making them a cherished but calorie-dense staple in South Asian cuisine.
