About Plain Paratha
A versatile and comforting staple, the Plain Paratha is a flaky, unleavened whole wheat bread, lightly shallow-fried on a tawa with oil or ghee. Masterfully folded and rolled during preparation, it features subtle layers that become delightfully crisp on the outside while remaining tender inside. It serves as a brilliant, slightly rich accompaniment to both breakfast pickles and dinner gravies.
