About Wheat parotta

Wheat Parotta is a popular flatbread originating from South Indian cuisine, particularly enjoyed in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Crafted primarily with whole wheat flour, water, and a touch of oil, it is a healthier alternative to traditional parotta made with refined flour. Known for its flaky, layered texture, Wheat Parotta is prepared using a folding and rolling technique, then cooked on a hot griddle to achieve its golden-brown exterior. Whole wheat provides dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals, promoting better digestion and sustained energy. However, the dish can be calorie-dense due to the use of oil or ghee during preparation and cooking, making portion control important for managing fat intake. Typically paired with curries, Wheat Parotta offers a wholesome addition to meals while balancing flavor and nutrition. Perfect for those seeking a lighter twist on a beloved South Indian staple!
