Warqi Paratha

A flaky, multi-layered leavened paratha made by repeatedly folding ghee-brushed dough to create dozens of paper-thin laminated layers — baked in a tandoor until the exterior is crisp while the interior tears apart in soft, buttery sheets. A Mughal court bread of extraordinary finesse, it is the signature bread of the Hyderabadi and Lucknowi dastarkhan.
