If you’ve grown up in a South Asian household, you’re quite familiar with waking up to the smell of freshly fried parathas wafting from the kitchen. Still sleepy and disoriented, you follow the delicious aroma and spot the stack of golden brown parathas resting on the dining table. You quickly tear into one because let’s face it – no one can resist the smell of a freshly fried paratha!
Indian cuisine is gaining popularity around the world because of its spicy, delicious, and aromatic dishes that appeal to many people. Most of these dishes go really well with the desi paratha – a crispy and flaky Indian flatbread made by baking or cooking whole-wheat dough on a large, flat wok and finishing it off in the frying pan.
The Indian paratha stands undisputed as one of the most popular food items, perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. There are different types of parathas, including plain and stuffed varieties, and they’re equally delicious in their own right.
