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.
