Paratha

Description

Paratha

Our Paratha arrives at the table boiling hot with delicate layers that shatter at first contact and melt into soft, pillowy warmth. It is golden, flaky, and irresistibly buttery. It’s a hearty classic that feels like a hug from Avayacafe, served with homemade pickles and refreshing yogurt.

Key Ingredients

• Whole-wheat atta, all-purpose flour, ghee, salt, butter, ajwain seeds, fresh coriander, kasuri methi

Quick-Made Recipe

1. Knead whole-wheat atta, a little all-purpose flour, salt, ajwain, chopped coriander, and ghee into a soft, pliable dough; rest covered for 30 minutes.
2. Divide into balls, roll each into a thin circle, brush generously with melted ghee, sprinkle kasuri methi, then fold concertina-style and coil into a spiral.
3. Roll the spiral gently into a 7–8 inch disc, keeping all the beautiful layers intact.
4. Cook on a hot tawa with generous butter until deep golden-brown spots appear on both sides, pressing edges with a cloth for maximum flakiness.
5. Remove when crisp outside yet soft within, brush with extra ghee, and serve immediately.

At Avayacafe, we roll and cook each paratha to order so that it is perfectly layered, fragrant, and steaming right out of the tawa. We employ a proprietary mixture of butter and ghee to produce those distinctively crisp edges while maintaining a soft, flavorful within. This simple flatbread becomes the highlight of every morning and all-day comfort meal, whether it is served with our smooth paneer bhurji, hot and spicy anda curry, or just dipped in yogurt and pickle. Nothing compares to the smell of fresh paratha filling the café, so locals know it’s worth the brief wait.
