Khapli Wheat

Makes This Lucknowi Ulte Tawa Paratha Effortlessly Good

Ulta Tawa Ka Paratha is a popular and easy-to-spot flatbread in the "Nawabon Ka Shahar," Lucknow. The word ulta tawa literally means "inverted griddle," which describes how the paratha is cooked, giving it a slight curve. This recipe uses Aashirvaad Chakki Khapli Atta, which is richer in fibre and protein than regular wheat flour. Its higher fibre content contributes to better blood sugar control by slowing down the absorption of glucose. Unlike the Mughlai paratha from Bengal, Ulte Tawa Ka Paratha is delicately sweet and is representative of the Awadhi cuisine of Lucknow. This slight sweetness blends well with the spicy accompaniments of this paratha. Fragranced with kewra water and saffron, it provides a royal aroma in each bite. Making this recipe at home will bring the flavours of street-style parathas directly to your breakfast table.
