What is Paratha?

Parathas are pan cooked flatbreads eaten in Indian cuisine. They are made from a dough of wheat flour, water and oil, and shaped into a thin disc shape, or rough square. They are fatter than a tortilla and slightly puffy in spots. The paratha is white with black patches from the pan or griddle it was cooked on. They taste mild, sweet and nutty. They are served alongside main courses.
