Lachha Paratha Recipe | How to make Lachha Paratha recipe with step by step pictures and instructions. Lachha Paratha is flaky layered flat bread made with whole wheat flour. It is so famous in North India and quite similar to South Indian Parotta but more healthy. Serve it with simple raita or any exotic gravy of your choice. I served with Kadai vegetable.My husband loves Parotta a lot and to make it healthy I make it with wheat flour. You can use combination of all purpose flour and wheat too.
I tried to use minimum oil and still it was so soft and flaky with layers. It doesn't take much time to prepare too. Monday again and theme for this week in Foodie Monday Bloghop group is #241FlatBreadFiesta suggested by Poonam who blogs at Annapurna. She is so friendly and versatile blogger. Check out the Pudina Lachha Paratha she prepared for the theme and also her wide collection of recipes from her blog.
