Traditionally made with whole wheat flour, it's often stuffed with a variety of fillings, from spiced potatoes to paneer, making it a versatile dish. Parathas are commonly enjoyed at breakfast or as a side dish, and their popularity has led to numerous regional variations across India and beyond, adapting to local tastes and ingredients.
