Laccha paratha is also the most popular Indian flatbread which has multi-layers and made with refined flour. This laccha paratha gets its place on top of any restaurant’s menu card. This paratha is so yummy that you can pair this with any curry or dal. But I like to eat with Kadai Paneer or with Egg Curry, chicken curry. Laccha paratha mostly served in restaurants or in dhabs. But now, you can make this at home very easily by following the steps.
Laccha paratha
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.
If you have any occasion or just a simple get-together with your friends and family or you are looking for something creative with your regular naan or roti then try this laccha paratha.
