Paratha - The Ultimate Indian Comfort Food
Paratha has always been a canvas for creativity. Some like it plain, while others stuff it with aloo, methi, gobhi, paneer, gud or even leftover dal and sabzi. It is the kind of food that feels like home on a plate. So, we thought, why not bring the best of both worlds - the juiciness of mangoes and the soulfulness of parathas - together?
Depending on how you make it, mango paratha can be gently sweet and fruity, or spiced up for a tangy kick. Either way, it captures the essence of summer in every bite.

How To Make Mango Paratha | Step-By-Step Recipe:
Ingredients:
1 cup atta
Half cup thick pulp of semi-ripe mango
A pinch of turmeric
Half teaspoon red chilli powder
Half teaspoon roasted jeera powder
Salt to taste
Finely chopped green chillies or dhania (optional)
Method:
Knead the flour with mango pulp and spices into a soft dough.
Let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes.
Roll it into parathas and roast them on a hot tawa with a drizzle of ghee or oil.
Serve hot with curd, mango pickle or even a spicy garlic chutney for contrast.
Pro Tips For Perfect Mango Parathas:
Use fresh mango pulp, not canned, for better aroma and colour.
If using fibrous mangoes, strain the pulp for a smooth texture.
For extra richness, add a spoonful of cream or milk powder to the dough.
Resting the dough makes it easier to roll and gives the paratha a softer finish.

Why Mango Paratha Just Works
It may sound offbeat, but mango paratha is rooted in Indian kitchen wisdom of using seasonal ingredients to elevate everyday food. Just like aamras with puri in the West, mango rice in the South, or mango chutneys in the East, this dish is a tribute to the versatility of mangoes.
So, the next time your fruit basket overflows with mangoes, and the summer heat slows you down, roll out a few mango parathas, eat them slowly and let them melt into the season. You might just discover a new favourite.
