Garlic and chili paratha is a popular type of flatbread that originates from the Indian subcontinent. The paratha is made with wheat flour, water, and salt, and is typically stuffed with a mixture of garlic, chili, and other spices. The dough is rolled out into a circular shape, and then the stuffing is added to the center. The edges are then pinched together and the dough is rolled out again, creating layers of the filling throughout the paratha.

The paratha is then cooked on a griddle or in a pan with oil until golden brown and crispy. Garlic and chili paratha is often served with chutney or raita, and is a popular breakfast or snack food in many parts of India and Pakistan.
