MonSalwa Flatbreads (薄餅) are a popular product line from MonSalwa, one of Pakistan’s leading bakery and fast-food chains.
Paratha (IPA: [pəˈɾaːʈʰaː, pəˈɾãːʈʰaː], also known by other spellings) is a flatbread from the Indian subcontinent, consisting of a wheat dough, typically whole wheat, that is folded and rolled with ghee, forming multiple layers, and shallow fried. Paratha may be stuffed with various fillings, the most common being potato. Paratha is one of the most popular flatbreads in India. The folded, whole-wheat version is prevalent in the Northern Indian subcontinent, and is distinct from South Indian parotta, which uses refined flour. Variations also exist in the cuisines of Myanmar, Mauritius, Malaysia (where it is known as roti canai), and the Caribbean (where it is known as buss-up-shut).
Although paratha is sometimes said to have originated in Punjabi cuisine, it may have evolved from similar flatbreads from regions connected to India via the Silk Road. Possible origins include the Persian flatbread waraki or from breads introduced by Arabs in India. Sanskrit recipes for versions of paratha appeared in the 12th century. The popularity of paratha increased during the Mughal Empire, which introduced it across the region. During the British imperial era, indentured workers from India introduced paratha to Southeast Asia, the Caribbean, and Mauritius. In India, several versions of paratha were popularised after the 1947 partition.
❤️ Our recipes
Plain Paratha (Flaky South Asian Flatbread)
Ingredients (makes 8–10 parathas)
For the Dough:
2½ cups (300g) whole wheat flour (atta / chapati flour) or all-purpose flour
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp neutral oil or ghee (optional)
¾–1 cup (180–240 ml) warm water (adjust as needed for soft dough)
For Layering & Cooking:
Melted ghee or oil: about ½ cup (for brushing and frying)
Dry flour: as needed for dusting
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, and oil. Gradually add warm water and knead into a soft, smooth, pliable dough (consistency like soft earlobe). Knead for 5–8 minutes. Cover with a damp cloth and rest for 15–30 minutes.
Divide the Dough
Divide rested dough into 8–10 equal portions. Roll each into a smooth ball. Keep covered.
Roll and Create Layers
Dust one ball with dry flour and roll into a 6–7 inch (15–18 cm) circle.
Brush generously with melted ghee/oil and sprinkle with dry flour.
Layering methods (choose one):
Triangle: Fold into half, then quarter into triangle. Gently press and roll out again.
Square: Fold sides inward to form a square, then roll flat.
Lachha (flakiest): Roll into a long strip, coil like a spiral, press down, and roll into a circle.
Cook the Paratha
Heat a tawa (flat griddle) or non-stick pan over medium heat.
Place paratha on the hot pan. Cook until golden spots appear (about 1 minute), flip, brush with ghee/oil on both sides, and cook until crispy and flaky with brown spots (total 2–3 minutes per paratha). Press gently with a spatula for even cooking.
Serve
Stack cooked parathas and cover with a clean cloth to keep soft. Serve hot with curry, yogurt, pickles, or any side dish.
Leftovers can be frozen and reheated on a pan.
Tips:
Softer dough = softer paratha.
Use ghee for richer flavor and aroma; oil for vegan version.
Practice different folding techniques for more layers and flakiness.
Best enjoyed fresh, but frozen parathas (like United King style) can be quickly pan-heated.
