LACHHA PARATHA

 

 

Chapathi are day in and out meal and sound boring when every day at the dining table you find the same old stuff. So thought to prepare something else instead of chapathi. I was searching in net I saw this recipe in some blog sorry I don’t remember that blog name, and tried this, first time I prepared bit thin but came similar to chapathi taste but at my second attempt it came out perfect and like Paratha with nice layers…even my hubby liked it very much. While munching we get that pudina or fenugreek leaves it taste really great…you too try this recipe  it comes really good and you like it.

             Lachha Paratha is also known as multi-layered Indian bread

Ingredients

 

 For Preparing Dough

3 Cups Wheat Flour

Salt to taste

Pinch of baking soda

1-2 Tbsp. oil

Fresh mint leaves

Sesame seeds

Garam masala

Procedure

 

Dough

• Mix the wheat flour, add salt to taste and pinch of soda.

• Add water till it becomes soft just as chapathi dough.

• Keep it aside for 10-15 min.

 

 

• In a bowl sesame seeds, Garam masala and chopped mint leaves keep it ready.

• Roll into circular shape, like a chapathi but thickness should be very thin Spread some ghee or oil, over the top layer.

• Sprinkle some chopped mint leaves, Garam masala powder and sesame seeds.

• You can also add dry fenugreek leaves (kasoori methi).

 

 

• Fold as shown, like paper fan. Complete till it reaches the other corner. Stretch it or twist gently. Roll from one corner to other end. 

 

• Again put some wheat flour and, Press gently to roll without affecting the layers, too much rolling will spoil the layer and finally it looks like flat chapati.
• Fry it on both sides on medium flame. 

 

 

Enjoy lachha Paratha with any kind of gravy/curry also with raita…
