Parantha. Paratha. Parauntha. No matter how you say it, paranthas have been an Indian breakfast staple since like, forever. They’re called Palata in Burma and farata in the Maldives. But all of us can proudly puff out our chests and say that paranthas actually originated from the Indian Subcontinent. They have conquered our hearts, taste buds & lunch boxes. They are the cheat codes our mums used to make us eat all the veggies we wouldn’t have any other way. Be it with butter, curd, pickle or plain, paranthas are just awesome.

9. Mooli Parantha

They’re so tasty. But a lot of times, the people around you have to pay the price for your culinary adventure.  On a lazy laid back Sunday, stuff your face with this awesome parantha seasoned with salt, pepper & carom seeds. And then deal with the consequences in peace.
