Paratta, also known as paratha, is a popular flatbread originating from the Indian subcontinent, widely enjoyed in South Asian cuisine. Made from whole wheat flour, water, and ghee or oil, its flaky, layered texture is achieved by folding and rolling the dough multiple times during preparation. Parattas can be served plain or stuffed with fillings like spiced potatoes, paneer, or vegetables for added flavor. While whole wheat parattas provide fiber and essential nutrients, their nutritional profile largely depends on the preparation method. Generous use of ghee or frying can increase calorie and fat content, making it a less healthy option if consumed in excess. Opting for minimal oil or baking alternatives can make parattas a more health-conscious choice. Often enjoyed with curries, pickles, or yogurt, this versatile dish is both a comfort food and a cultural staple.
