Homemade paratha is a South Asian layered flatbread made from chapati flour and ghee or oil, cooked on a griddle. The fat is layered into the dough by folding, creating a flaky, rich texture. At 333 kcal and 14.4g fat per 100g it is one of the higher-fat flatbreads.
Best served hot from the pan. Excellent alongside dal, curry or yoghurt. Plain paratha can also be eaten with pickle or chutney as a snack.

* % Daily Value is the proportion of an adult
EU Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) supplied by 100g of this food.
NRVs are the labelling standard — the same basis as the “%RI” figures printed on
food packaging — so these percentages are directly comparable with a shop label.
They are a single adult figure and do not vary by age or sex, which is why they
sometimes differ from UK dietary reference values: the NRV for vitamin C is 80mg
where the UK RNI is 40mg. When Nutriofia assesses your own intake in the
reports and trackers, it uses the age- and sex-specific UK values instead.
Fibre is shown without a percentage. Our fibre values use the UK
Englyst NSP method, while the published 30g daily goal is an AOAC figure — the two
are measured differently and a single percentage would mislead.
