Breakfast is something we all love, be it firangi scrambled eggs with toast or the desi chai poha, a good breakfast fuels us for the coming day. But no matter how delicious and what delicacy you put in front of us, nothing beats the warmth that we get after having a bite of warm thick paratha that is packed full of stuffing and is hot enough to tingle your fingers.
Parathas are North India’s favourite food and be it the classic aloo, gobhi, paneer or the more adventurous keema, cheese and egg paratha, we love them all equally. Lucknow has a soft corner for the ‘ulte tawe ka paratha’ and the ‘Mughlai paratha’ both of which are staple in the city, yet if you’re looking for a good stuffed desi paratha, well Lucknow has a ton of those too. Here’s a list of our favourite paratha places where you can head to for a filling breakfast or order from for a sumptuous meal.
