Lacha Paratha or Lacheder Paratha is a popular whole wheat, Layered paratha from North India( Punjab). We can do this paratha in different ways like pleating the dough or by doing triangle shape dough & press in between and can also be done as I given below. In South India, same layered parota is made up of All purpose flour which is known as Malabar parota in different style ( you may check my malabar parota post). Here I used all purpose flour instead of whole wheat flour.


Ingredients:

All purpose flour / Maida - 1 cup
Whole wheat flour - 1/4 cup + for dusting
Warm water - 1/2 cup
Oil / ghee - 2tsp
Oil - As required
Salt - As required

Method:


Mix both the Flour, salt, oil well.Add Warm water to the flour & knead well as a firm dough as we do for Chapathi.Coat the dough with 2 drops of oil & cover with wet cloth & rest it for an hour.Knead the dough again & divide it into equal size portion.Dust the rolling area & Roll the divided dough into circle.Brush the circle with drops of oil & sprinkle some flour over it.Cut the circle as strips & arrange the stripe one by one over themselves.Press the strips & Roll it again as shown in above picture (twist).Rest it for another 30 minuts.Gently roll with rolling pin in to round shape.Cook the paratha on both the side. Drizzle oil around the paratha & cook well.Take 2 ~ 3 parathas between your palms & gently clap to release the layer.Serve hot with any gravy.
