Laccha paratha has a lot of flaky layers and these flaky layers are made with flour dough. And only with 4 to 5 regular-based ingredients. Firstly you need to knead a semi-hard dough with refined flour, salt, sugar, and some water. Then the layers are made by creating pleats on the roti and fold them just like a pinwheel. When you rolled again, you get a lot of layers. But my favorite trick is to cut them into fine slices and fold the paratha into a pinwheel.
