Notes on laccha paratha recipe. 1. Add the lukewarm water gradually to form a dough. 2. Many people even make use of milk to knead the lachha parantha dough. The more oil or ghee you use to make the paratha, the flakier it will be. 3. Roll it over again from one end to the other end to form a swiss roll. 4. Do not roll too thin as you won’t be able to enjoy the layers. Also, do not press a lot while rolling or else there will be no layers. If you are finding difficulty in rolling, gently lift the paratha, dust little flour on the rolling board and then continue rolling. This will also prevent the paratha from sticking.
These laccha parathas make a good satiating combo with kadai paneer, paneer pasanda, dal makhani or dal fry.
