Prata, also known as parotta or roti canai, is a flaky, layered flatbread with roots in South Indian cuisine, though it is also widely popular in Southeast Asia, particularly Malaysia and Singapore. Made from a dough combining flour, water, salt, and ghee or oil, its rich texture comes from skilful folding and cooking on a griddle. Traditionally served with curries or sugar, prata is a versatile dish enjoyed both savory and sweet. Nutritionally, it provides carbohydrates and fats, making it an energy-dense food. While the inclusion of ghee or oil adds flavor, it also elevates the fat content, making moderation crucial for those mindful of calorie intake or heart health. Whole wheat or multigrain alternatives can offer more fiber and nutrients. Pairing prata with vegetable-filled curries can enhance its nutritional balance. Enjoyed occasionally, it’s a beloved indulgence in many cultures.
