It&#8217;s a favorite accompaniment to various Indian dishes or enjoyed on its own with chutneys, curries, or yogurt.<\/p>\n<p>To make Lachha Paratha, the dough is prepared with flour, water, salt, and a bit of oil or ghee. The dough is kneaded until smooth and then rolled out into a thin circle. Ghee is spread over the rolled-out dough.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of folding and pleating the rolled dough, I made strips on the rolled dough. Gathered the strips &amp; rolled them into a spiral and flattened the dough. Cooked on a hot griddle or tawa with some more oil or ghee until it becomes golden brown and crispy.<\/p>\n<p>By making strips on the dough creates a flaky and multi-layered texture that separates easily when pulled apart. The result is deliciously crispy yet soft paratha with a delightful texture that pairs wonderfully with a variety of curries or can be savored by itself.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stips on the rolled dough<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31793\" src=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/making-layered-paratha.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/making-layered-paratha.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/making-layered-paratha-146x200.jpg 146w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/making-layered-paratha-44x60.jpg 44w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Strips rolled into spirals<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31795\" src=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/making-lachha-paratha-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/making-lachha-paratha-1.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/making-lachha-paratha-1-150x200.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/making-lachha-paratha-1-45x60.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31791\" src=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/layered-lachha-paratha-recipe.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/layered-lachha-paratha-recipe.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/layered-lachha-paratha-recipe-150x200.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/layered-lachha-paratha-recipe-45x60.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe mceNonEditable\" data-rating=\"0\">\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Flaky &amp; Layered Wheat Paratha &#8211; Easy Lachha Paratha Recipe<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\"><span class=\"xlate\">Recipe Type<\/span>: <span class=\"type\">Main<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cuisine: <span class=\"cuisine\">Indian<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">Thasneen<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <time itemprop=\"prepTime\" datetime=\"PT15M\">15 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <time itemprop=\"cookTime\" datetime=\"PT30M\">30 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT45M\">45 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">8 Parathas<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Whole wheat flour or atta- 2 cups<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Salt- 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Water- 1 cup + 2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Oil- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Ghee or butter, melted<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Flour, to dust while rolling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Makes 8 parathas<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">To a large bowl, add wheat flour &amp; salt, combine well.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add the water gradually &amp; knead to a smooth dough.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">I used regular water, lukewarm water can also be added.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">The amount of water depends on the wheat flour used, I added 1 cup &amp; 2 tbsp water.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">The dough has to be slightly soft, don&#8217;t make it very soft.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add a tsp of oil over the dough &amp; spread it well on the dough.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Keep it aside for 5 minutes.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Make medium-sized balls out of the dough.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">On a wooden chapati board or a clean surface, dust some flour &amp; place the dough.
