Paratha

A paratha is a layered, unleavened flatbread originating from the Indian subcontinent. Made from wheat flour, it is kneaded into a dough, often stuffed with fillings such as vegetables, spices, or meats, then rolled out and cooked on a griddle with oil or ghee. The process of folding and rolling creates multiple layers, giving the paratha its flaky texture. It is typically enjoyed for breakfast or as a main dish, served with accompaniments like yogurt, pickles, or curry. Parathas are valued for their rich flavor, versatility, and satisfying crunch.
