Paratha is a traditional Indian flatbread made with whole wheat flour, water, and salt. The unleavened dough is rolled, folded, and cooked on a hot tawa to create soft, flaky layers. Paratha is lightly roasted with oil or ghee until golden and crisp. It is commonly served with curries, dals, curd, or pickles.
