Paratha Churro Bites are a thoughtful rework of classic paratha dough, shaped into small sticks and fried until lightly crisp. What sets this version apart is the use of Aashirvaad 100% MP Sharbati Atta, milled from Madhya Pradesh wheat known for uniform grains and natural aroma. Its superior water absorption creates a dough that rolls smoothly, fries evenly, and stays soft inside even after cooling. The result is a snack that bridges familiarity and novelty; crisp edges, tender centres, and a controlled sweetness that never overwhelms.
