🍯 A Taste of Childhood, Folded in Ghee & Sweetness
Meethi Paratha is the kind of dish that doesn’t need an occasion.
It could be a quick breakfast before school, a snack wrapped in foil for train journeys, or a warm surprise on a cold evening — all with that unmistakable smell of ghee + jaggery caramelizing on the tawa.
Soft, slightly crispy, and sweet with hints of saunf or cardamom — this paratha is simple joy on a plate.
🛒 What You’ll Need (Makes 3–4 parathas):
1½ cups atta (wheat flour)
2–3 tbsp jaggery (grated) or sugar
1 tbsp ghee (for inside + roasting)
½ tsp cardamom powder or crushed saunf (fennel seeds)
Water to knead
Optional: a pinch of salt
🍳 How to Make It – Sweet, Soft & Nostalgic
1. Knead the Dough
Mix flour, cardamom/saunf, and a pinch of salt (optional). Knead into a soft dough using water. Let it rest for 15 mins.
2. Roll & Fill
Roll a small dough ball into a circle. Spread a little ghee and sprinkle 1 tbsp jaggery/sugar evenly inside. Fold and roll again.
Tip: Fold into triangle or square for layers.
3. Roast on Tawa
Cook on hot tawa with ghee until golden brown spots appear and jaggery starts to melt inside.
4. Serve Hot
Enjoy as is, or with curd or a glass of milk — it’s satisfying either way!
