Often you'll see the name of this flatbread given as "paratha" rather than "parantha." There are multiple ways to spell it, and many more ways to prepare it, as this husband-and-wife team — his heritage is North Indian, hers, South Indian — can attest. Accompanied by chutney, raita, and mango pickle, one parantha in this split order ($8) is Indo-Chinese, with a paneer Manchurian filling. The other marries goat cheese, pecans, dates, and honey; to my knowledge, it's a parantha unique to Brooklyn.
Note, too, the Devangiri-style script on the menu board, employed to reinforce this stall's South Asian roots. See also Chang Pai, Cafe Spice, South Asian wild style.
