Laccha Paratha Recipe | How to Make Laccha Paratha

Laccha paratha is popular paratha from North India. Indian cuisine has great variety of flat breads and paratha, and laccha paratha is one of the most popular parathas of India. Since making laccha paratha is all about following the right way of folding, in this post I tried to do step by step method of making laccha paratha.

Laccha paratha is also known as paratwala paratha because it has layers which in hindi is called Parat, hence the name Paratwala paratha. You can make laccha paratha with plain wholewheat paratha dough or with a mix of both whole wheat and all purpose mix. In restaurants they mostly serve all purpose flour ones but at home you can make a healthier version with all wholewheat flour. In this recipe I have made whole wheat paratha.

Here's the step by step method of making Laccha paratha

Mix flour, ghee, salt in a big mixing bowl and add required amount of water to make smooth and stiff dough. The dough should be well kneeded, not too soft but firm and pliable.

Divide it into 4 parts and roll into thin big circles. Brush it with ghee and sprinkle salt and chilli powder over it.

After applying ghee, smear some paratha masala, or dried mint (in case you like the flavour or just salt if you like it plain)

Now Pleat this rolled disc as shown above.

Twist it to make it look like a braid.

Coil it to make a round circle as shown.

If you like it spicy and want to make mirchi paratha you can add green chilli, mint, coriander, basically whatever herbs you like.

Now roll carefully into laccha paratha little bit thicker than normal paratha.
