    About Paratha

    Paratha is the full form for ‘parat’ and ‘atta’ which means layers of cooked dough. A dough is prepared using wheat flour, oil, salt, flavorings then rolled into a disc with layers and finally toasted in tawa until golden spots appear here and there.

    Though Paratha is popular in North India slowly it has gained its popularity across the globe. I love all paratha recipes be it plain paratha or with stuffing of vegetables. With vegetable stuffing this paratha is wholesome and filling.

    Expert Tips

    • While folding you can even skip the ghee for each layer and add oil/ghee while toasting
    • I didn’t add oil while toasting, if you want you can add it.
    • This type of layered paratha stays softer for a longer time.
    • You can also add omam(ajwain) replacing jeera but personally I like jeera so have given that here.

    Serving and Storage

    You can prepare the dough and store it in fridge for a week. The parathas when keeps well and soft for around 8-10 hours in room temperature.
