Types of Parathas

Top 5 Delicious Parathas In NYC 

Paratha is an emotion for most South Asians. We love to snack on paratha in the morning, eat meals at noon or night, or any time you can imagine. Paratha is a versatile flatbread usually prepared by cooking whole wheat on a tawa with ghee. It is served as a great snack during teatime and pairs wonderfully with both vegetable and Meat Curry.

Paratha has many different delicious variations, mostly in two main types, plain and stuffed, originating in different parts of the Indian Subcontinent at different times in history. Today at Al-Aqsa Restaurant Bronx, we offer a homage to all the mouth-watering round parathas that have been ruling the South Asian food tables for centuries.

Best 5 types of Parathas in NYC

Lachha Paratha

Laccha Paratha is India’s most loved layered paratha variation. With their fluffy, layered look, these parathas originated in Punjab. The dough is prepared to get its layered look, and the layers add crumbly texture to the paratha. Laccha Paratha can be served with vegetarian dishes as well as yummy meat dishes like Beef Curry, Chicken Curry, Butter Chicken, and more.

Aloo Paratha

Aloo Paratha is known as the vegetarian King of the Parathas. These soft aloo (potato)-stuffed parathas are immensely popular and known for their spicy crunch all over the world. From the remote Dhabas in Punjab or the eateries of Bihar to NYC, Aloo Paratha is everywhere. These are made with spice-infused boiled mashed potatoes. While they are mostly eaten as a snack outside India, they’re also a lunch or dinner table bread at many places around the country.

Keema Mughlai Paratha

Keema Mughlai Paratha, aka the Mughlai Keema Paratha, is a meaty variation of the plane paratha. It is a contemporary street food recipe found on the streets of Bengal and other places of a stuffed paratha with egg and spicy mutton keema wrapped to make an envelope-style crumbling paratha. Then the paratha is shallow-fried and cooked until crisp. We at Halal Restaurant serve Mughlai Keema Paratha with spicy potato curry, ketchup, chili sauce, and salad.

Chicken Keema Paratha

Chicken Keema Paratha is a chicken mincemeat-stuffed paratha. This is a paratha cooked on tawaa with desi ghee and filled with tender and spicy chicken for the best taste. Our Chicken Keema Paratha is prepared with halal chicken meat, just as the keema Mughlai paratha has halal mutton. It’s one of our customer favorites and a highly rated paratha dish.

Egg Mughlai Paratha

The most common version of Mughlai Parathas on earth is the Egg Mughlai Paratha. Being loved by all these parathas evokes the nostalgic feelings of our youth for many of us. These are crispy parathas stuffed with hot eggs and sliced into tiny bits for relishing with tasty tomato or white sauce. Egg Mughlai Paratha is a great choice for snaking or a meal at noon or night.

Al-Aqsa Restaurant Special Plain Paratha

Al-Aqsa Special Paratha

The Al-Aqsa Special Paratha is a plain paratha made with high-quality wheat flower and clarified butter. It’s straightforward; it offers a delightful combination of crispiness and tenderness. These parathas are an excellent match for a variety of vegetables, meat, and additional foods, creating a satisfying dining experience. A less common view suggests that they are also excellent with Gulab Jamun and chamcham.
