Mughlai paratha (Bengali: মোগলাই পরোটা, romanized: Moglai pôroṭa) is a popular Bengali street food consisting of a flatbread (paratha) wrapped around or stuffed with keema (spiced minced meat) and/or egg. It is believed to have originated in the Bengal Subah during the time of the Mughal Empire as a derivative of the Turkish gözleme or the Yemeni motabbaq. The dish is believed to have been prepared for the royal court of the Mughal Emperor Jahangir.
