Paratha is a flat bread that can accompany meals or be stuffed and served on its own

Paratha is a flatbread that is widely eaten throughout Bangladesh, either as a side to other meals or stuffed and served on its own, often for breakfast or as a snack.

Parathas are made by baking whole wheat dough (usually sourced from locally grown wheat) and then shallow frying in ghee or oil. Stuffing parathas is also very common, with many different filings being popular, including dal, potatoes cauliflower or other vegetables. It can then be served with a small amount of butter on top to melt, a side of chutney or simply as an accompaniment to a curry dish.
