Paranthe Wali Gali (Flatbread Lane), Delhi
Paranthe Wali Gali, also known as Flatbread Lane, is a small street in the Chandni Chowk market district that is known for its series of parantha shops. Though the street was originally a mainstay of silver and jewelry merchants, the parantha shops have been in steady operation since the mid-19th century.
Through the 1960s, about 20 different parantha shops operated on Flatbread Lane. Today, there are three shops that focus on selling parantha, though more are regularly reappearing.
Parantha is a traditional Indian food whose name means "layers of cooked dough." They are sometimes sold plain, but often those of the northern Indian region are stuffed with fillings that might consist of nuts, legumes, potato, cheese or cauliflower. They are generally served alongside a series of dipping sauces and ordered with a lassi to drink.
Parantha goes by many different names. It may be spelled paratha, parauntha, paronthi or even farata, depending on the location.
