| Lacha Paratha@The Dish Diary |
The word "Lacha" means
"layered" or "strands" in Hindi, and the paratha gets its
name from the multiple layers that are created during the rolling and folding
process.
Lacha Paratha is often served with spicy
curries, gravies, or kebabs, but it can also be enjoyed on its own with a
dollop of butter or yogurt. It is a popular choice for breakfast or as a side
dish during lunch or dinner.
Here's a recipe for lacha paratha:

1.
In a large
mixing bowl, combine wheat flour, salt, and sugar. Mix well.
2.
Gradually add
water and knead the dough until it becomes soft and smooth. Cover the dough and
let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
3.
Divide the
dough into equal-sized balls and roll each ball into a thin disc of about 6-7
inches in diameter.
4.
Spread a
teaspoon of ghee or oil on the rolled-out disc and sprinkle a little flour on
top.
5. Fold the disc
in half, spread another teaspoon of ghee or oil on top, and sprinkle a little
more flour on top.
6. Fold the disc
again to form a triangle, spread ghee or oil on top, and sprinkle a little more
flour.
7. Roll out the
triangular dough to make a thin layered paratha. Repeat the process with the
remaining dough balls.
8. Heat a flat
griddle or tawa over medium heat. Once hot, place the paratha on the tawa and
cook for a minute or until the bottom side is lightly browned.
9. Flip the
paratha and spread a little ghee or oil on top. Cook for another minute or
until the other side is lightly browned.
Flip the paratha again and press it gently with a spatula to help it puff up. Repeat the process on the other side.
11.
Remove the
paratha from the tawa and serve hot with your favorite curry or chutney.
Enjoy your delicious and flaky lacha paratha!
