Piarhie

Piarhie is a traditional dish originating from the Punjab region of India and Pakistan. It is a type of flatbread, similar to a paratha, that is typically made with whole wheat flour, water, and a small amount of oil or ghee. The dough is kneaded until smooth, then rolled out into thin circles. These circles are then shallow-fried or cooked on a griddle until golden brown and slightly crispy.

What distinguishes piarhie from other flatbreads is often its preparation and the addition of specific ingredients, though variations exist. Some recipes might incorporate spices into the dough itself, while others might be served with a dollop of yogurt, butter, or a savory accompaniment. The texture of piarhie is usually soft in the center with a slightly crisp exterior. It is a staple food in many Punjabi households and is commonly eaten for breakfast or as an accompaniment to various curries and vegetable dishes. Its simple ingredients and satisfying taste have made it a beloved part of Punjabi cuisine.
