What are Parathas?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Parathas are staples to many Indian homes. They are soft, thin, and flaky flatbread that can be eaten for breakfast lunch, or dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parathas are also great to pack in a Tiffin for lunch, especially for toddlers and kids. They keep soft for longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many varieties of paratha like Aloo paratha<\/a>, gobi paratha<\/a>, mooli paratha, paneer paratha, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, I am sharing the Plain paratha recipe made with whole wheat (atta) with you all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plain parathas are made with whole wheat flour that is kneaded using salt, oil, and water. The dough is then rolled into layered and cooked on a hot griddle\/tawa with some ghee or oil until light golden brown spots appear on both sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your kitchen will fill with a wonderful aroma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recipe can be multiplied as needed and made in advance, cooking up from frozen on demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although making them can be a bit of a time-consuming effort, the ingredients and techniques are simple enough that anyone can have freshly made flatbread at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the difference between Paratha, Naan, and Roti?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Paratha, naan, and roti are all different versions of Indian flatbread. They each have similar ingredients and all are easy to make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naan is different from roti and paratha. It is made with all-purpose flour whereas roti and paratha (usually) are made with whole wheat flour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naan uses yeast to provide a bit of rising to the dough. Whereas Roti and paratha don’t require yeast to rise the dough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roti is a bit thinner than both naan and paratha. Paratha is the flakiest of the three variations of flatbread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
