What is Paratha?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Paratha is an unleavened layered Indian flatbread<\/strong> that is traditionally made with stone-ground whole wheat flour. A soft dough is made using flour, water, salt, and a little oil, then after a short rest, it is rolled out into flatbreads. Parathas are always pan-fried with ghee or oil until they turn golden crisp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can make parathas plain or stuff them with a variety of fillings. Some of the popular stuffed parathas include Aloo paratha (stuffed with potato), Gobi paratha (stuffed with cauliflower), and Paneer paratha, just to name a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
