Maans

Maans is a traditional South Asian dish, originating from the Indian subcontinent, particularly popular in the regions of Punjab and Haryana. The dish is a type of flatbread, often served with various accompaniments such as curries, pickles, or yogurt. Maans is typically made from a simple dough of whole wheat flour, water, and sometimes a pinch of salt. The dough is rolled out into a thin sheet and then folded or pleated before being cooked on a griddle or tawa until it puffs up and turns golden brown. The result is a soft, slightly sweet flatbread with a crispy exterior. Maans is often enjoyed as a breakfast item or a light meal, and its versatility allows it to be paired with a wide range of dishes, making it a staple in many South Asian households.
