Sev Paratha is a unique and delicious variation of the traditional paratha, made with crispy sev (a crunchy fried snack made from chickpea flour) incorporated into soft, whole wheat dough.

When served with ADF Soul’s tangy pickles and chutney, each bite of Sev Paratha provides an exciting combination of savory, spicy, and tangy notes, making it a perfect dish for any meal.
Why Sev Paratha is the Perfect Balance of Crunch and Flavor
Sev Paratha isn't just tasty; it's an innovative dish that balances the soft, chewy texture of paratha with the crunchy goodness of sev. Sev, made from chickpea flour, adds a protein boost, while the whole wheat flour in the paratha contributes fiber and essential nutrients. Together, they create a wholesome meal that satisfies both your hunger and your nutritional needs. When paired with ADF Soul's spicy pickles and refreshing chutney, the flavors come together for a memorable meal that combines health with taste.
The Magic of Sev Paratha
Sev Paratha is an excellent example of how traditional Indian dishes can be transformed into something unique. Sev is crumbled and mixed with spices and herbs, creating a flavorful filling that is kneaded into the paratha dough. The dough is then rolled out and cooked to golden perfection. The spices such as cumin, coriander, and garam masala bring out the natural flavors, while green chilies add a hint of heat. Paired with ADF Soul’s tangy pickles and chutney, Sev Paratha is a dish that offers both satisfying crunch and rich flavor in every bite.
