    Lachha paratha recipe with step by step pictures. Flaky wheat paratha made with wheat flour, salt and water made into fleats to create flaky paratha.

     
     

    Lachha paratha

    I have made a Flaky paratha post previously,That paratha is made with maida. But this is a flaky lacha paratha made with wheat flour.So it is a healthy one.

    This is really easy to make, but it take a bit of time. Usually we will be having regular chapati, but this one will be a change for that. I served it with chettinad mushroom and tomato chutney. You could rest the dough for 2 hours. This makes the chapati so soft. So try this and let me know what you think.

    About Lachha Paratha Recipe 

    Wheat paratha or lachha paratha is one of the popular recipe around the world. It is a healthy option for maida paratha or malabar paratha.

    Dough is made with a combination of wheat flour and plain flour or you can use only whole wheat flour. Addition of a little plain flour makes the paratha even more sofgt. I have included that version in the video of this post. But this version has only whole wheat flour. This one taste amazing with curries or any side dishes.
