Plain Paratha

Plain Paratha is a simple yet delicious Indian flatbread made from whole wheat flour. The dough is prepared by kneading flour with water and a pinch of salt until smooth and pliable. It is then rolled out into thin discs, brushed with ghee or oil, and folded to create layers before being rolled out again. The paratha is cooked on a hot tawa (griddle) until golden brown and crisp, with a slightly flaky texture. Plain Paratha is versatile and can be enjoyed with a variety of dishes, including curries, dals, pickles, or yogurt. It's a popular choice for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, offering a satisfying and wholesome accompaniment to any meal.
