Paratha & Parotta

Paneer Paratha

A whole-wheat pocket sealed around spiced crumbled paneer and griddled on a tawa. The stuffed wheat bread the Manasollasa set down around 1130 CE, filled with cheese instead of jaggery.

Egg Paratha

Beaten egg poured into a split, half-cooked paratha on a live tawa and welded into its leaves: the North Indian late-night dhaba egg paratha, a flatbread with an omelette cooked into its core.
