Lachha paratha recipe, How to make lachha paratha | Lachedar paratha

lachha paratha recipe with step by step photos – lachha paratha or lachedar paratha is a popular paratha recipe from north india, made from whole wheat flour.

its also called as paratwala paratha. in punjabi “parat” means layer and layers can be seen on the paratha when it gets cooked. its south indian counterpart is the parotta which is made from all purpose flour and eggs.

lachedar paratha is an easy paratha to make. there are some 2 to 3 techniques used for making these parathas. i usually make the lachedar parathas using this technique and one more technique. these work for me and i find them simple and easy. you can also check this mint paratha recipe where i have shared more photos of preparing the layered paratha.

i usually make the paratha of medium thickness. if you make them more thick then more layers will be visible but then you have to cook the paratha really very well so that it is not left uncooked from inside.

serve the lachha parathas hot with any vegetable curry like aloo matar, veg kadai, veg korma, veg makhanwala, veg handi or with paneer curry recipes like paneer butter masala, matar paneer, kadai paneer, paneer makhani or with mango pickle.
