Paratha Masala

Paratha Masala is a flavorful spice blend used to season parathas, a popular type of Indian flatbread. This masala typically contains a mix of spices like cumin, coriander, carom seeds (*ajwain*), dried fenugreek leaves (*kasuri methi*), black pepper, and sometimes chili powder for a mild heat. The blend may also include turmeric and garam masala to enhance the aroma and depth of flavor.

Paratha Masala is usually added to the dough before rolling out the parathas, or it can be sprinkled on the paratha after cooking. The spices infuse the dough, creating a savory, aromatic bread that pairs perfectly with curries, pickles, or yogurt. Paratha Masala adds an extra layer of flavor to plain parathas, making them more delicious and fragrant.

This versatile masala can also be used to flavor other flatbreads or stuffed parathas like aloo or gobi paratha. It’s an easy way to elevate the taste of parathas and enhance your meals with authentic Indian flavors.
