Cuisine Indian

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1 cup All-purpose Flour
  • 2 pinch Baking Soda
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tbsp Sugar
  • 1 cup Milk/ Water
  • Oil

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl add both the flours, salt, sugar, baking soda and mix them. Now I’ll add milk or water and knead a smooth and soft dough.
  • Now apply little oil on the dough and cover it with damp towel and let it rest for 15 minutes.
  • After 15 minutes knead dough once again and divide it in 6-8 balls.Now take one ball, dip it in the dry flour and roll it to a disc.
  • Now you can make layers in different ways. Watch my video for instructions to make layers in different ways.
  • Once layered ball is ready, roll them to disc again. Heat the pan at medium heat and put the rolled paratha on it.
  • Once you see bubbles turn it over and apply oil on paratha and gently press it from all the side.
  • Now turn it over again and apply oil on this side too. Gently press it and cook till you see brown spots on both sides of paratha.
  • Now hold the cooked paratha in your hands and gently crush it. This will give nice flaky layers to paratha.
  • Lachha paratha is ready. Serve it with your favorite curry.

Notes

Shilpi’s Quick Tricks
  • Knead the dough medium soft- not very hard or very soft.
  • After the kneading, it is very important to leave the dough for 15 minutes to rest.
  • Apply generous amount of oil and sprinkle dry flour on the rolled dough to help keeping the layers intact.
  • While rolling lachha paratha use very gentle hands and do not roll paratha very thin, otherwise layers will smudge and will not come in proper way.
  • While cooking lachha paratha gently press it from all the sides and cook them from both the side till it become brown and crispy.
  • To open the layers of lachha parata just crush the paratha gently between your palms.
