Mughlai Paratha is a popular stuffed flatbread from Kolkata, rooted in Mughlai cuisine. It is filled with spiced chicken mince and egg, then pan-fried until golden and crisp. The chicken is cooked with ginger, garlic, garam masala, and chilli, giving it a rich, flavourful taste. As it fries, the paratha develops a crisp, golden exterior while remaining soft inside, making it the perfect base for the filling. While many different types of parathas are enjoyed across India, with each region having its variations, Bengal’s Mughlai Paratha is a unique take on stuffed flatbreads, distinguished by its hearty filling, and crisp outer layer. Like other regional recipes, it showcases the diversity of Indian cuisine while offering a rich and indulgent experience.
