A paratha is a flatbread that originated in the Indian Subcontinent. It is still quite prevalent in the north of India, where wheat is grown and is the traditional staple of the area. Paratha is an amalgamation of the words parat and atta which literally means layers of cooked dough. Alternative spellings and names include parantha, forota (in Sylheti), parauntha, prontha, parontay, porota (in Bengali), palata (; in Burma), and farata (in Mauritius, Sri Lanka and the Maldives).
