Plain paratha is a versatile Indian flatbread made from whole wheat flour, water, and a pinch of salt. Unlike stuffed parathas, plain parathas are simple and do not contain any additional fillings or ingredients.

To prepare plain parathas, the dough is first made by combining whole wheat flour, water, and salt until it forms a smooth and elastic dough. Small portions of the dough are then rolled out into thin circles using a rolling pin. These circles are then cooked on a hot griddle or tawa until both sides are golden brown and cooked through.

Plain parathas are typically served hot and can be enjoyed with a variety of accompaniments such as curries, dals, chutneys, or pickles. They can also be paired with yogurt or eaten on their own as a delicious and wholesome snack or meal.
