With the vast array of flatbreads in Indian cuisine, we surely have a lot of options to choose from. From the soft and spongy naan to deep-fried crunchy pooris, Indian flatbreads are surely one of a kind. However, if someone asks us what’s the best flatbread Indians can serve us, our instant answer is ‘garma garam parantha’. With the variety of fillings that go into parathas, the obsession of Indians with it is quite evident. Be it a healthy morning breakfast or a filling lunch or comforting dinner, paranthas surely come to our rescue. The buttery, flaky and delicious flatbread has saved us in some of the most crucial times.
If you ask me, I can load up on paranthas any time of the day. All I need is a dollop of butter over it along with achaar or dahi on the side. However, the only dilemma that I go through while eating parathas is the quantity. While one paratha is insufficient to satisfy my cravings, two of them are more than enough. Recently, I came across an Instagram video that intrigued me to check it out. The caption read, “33 kg weight tawa paratha making”. Intrigued? Take a look yourself:
In this video uploaded by the Instagram food blogger with the username @eatthisagra, a vendor is seen making a jaggery kaju paratha and roasting it on a tawa that weighs 33 kilos. The video has garnered 2.9 million views and 95k likes in just six days. While the paratha must be delicious, the amount of butter used in making it has left netizens disappointed and the comments are proof. Here is what they are saying:
“Pahle anokha matlab accha hota tha.aaj anokha yaane unhealthy food”
“Paratha bana na hai tou usmai tawa kya leyne deyna hai”
“Itna chota 33kg ka paratha😂?”
