How to make Lachha Paratha
- Make dough out of whole-wheat flour (atta), 1 tbsp oil & salt, as you would do for any paratha/roti.
- Make dough 30 minutes before and cover it with the moist muslin cloth.
- Take a Ping-Pong ball-sized lump of dough. Now roll it into a circle of approx. 5 to 6 ” diameter using dry flour. Heat the ghee so that it turns to liquid.
- Now spread the ghee properly over entire surface.
- Using a knife make a 2″ cut lengthways and fold it inwards .
- Spread Oil on every fold. Now press it lightly towards the center to show the layers clearly and roll like a paratha. (Refer the picture).
- Cook on a pre-heated Tawa (flat griddle plate).
- Turn the lachha paratha and pour half tablespoon oil or butter.
- Spread it on the paratha and shallow fry over low heat.
- Turn it and again pour oil or butter on the other side.
- Cook the lachha paratha on a low heat till golden brown.
- Enjoy it with any vegetable or garlic chutney.
