Paratha

Also called: paratha, parantha, aloo paratha, roti (ghee)

A ghee-cooked flatbread — richer and more grounding than a plain roti.

How Paratha affects your doshas

In Ayurveda a food's effect depends on your constitution. This is the lens the app uses to suggest what to favour and ease off.

Effect of Paratha on each dosha

Taste: Sweet  ·  Potency: Heating (uṣṇa)  ·  Post-digestive: Sweet  ·  Qualities: Heavy, Oily

When to go easy

Wheat cooked with ghee/oil is heavy, so it adds to Kapha; stuffed parathas more so.
