Two parathas are a classic dish from Indian cuisine, made with whole wheat flour dough that is rolled out, layered, and cooked on a griddle with oil or ghee. Often stuffed with flavorful fillings like spiced potatoes, paneer, or vegetables, parathas are loved for their crispy, flaky texture and rich taste. As a source of carbohydrates, they provide energy, while the whole wheat base contributes fiber for digestion. The fillings add vitamins, minerals, and protein depending on the ingredients used. However, parathas can be high in calories and fat due to the cooking oil or ghee, making portion control essential for a balanced diet. Pairing them with yogurt or fresh vegetables can enhance their nutritional profile and make them a wholesome meal or snack. Popular in North India, parathas are a cultural favorite enjoyed at breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
