Laccha Paratha don’t need any introduction, right, foodies? Be it with Palak Paneer or Vegetable Jalfrezi , these flaky and crisp multi-layered Indian flatbreads rule our taste buds. Laccha Paratha are usually served along with luscious and spicy curries in various restaurants across the globe.
However, I love preparing them and their variations such as Pudina Laccha Parathas at home. These days, readymade Laccha Paratha are available in superstores. But as you know, nothing can beat homemade, piping hot Laccha Parathas! Additionally, when you prepare Laccha Parathas at home, you can rest assured about the quality of ingredients and your meals bound to become more salutary.

Wow ! In your opinion would it be possible to flavour it with some garlic paste ?
Neha
Yes you can. Just add minced garlic in the flour and then knead the dough.

Directive #2 says ‘make a soft dough using water’….. How much water? Thanks
Neha Mathur
The amount of water depends on the quality of the flour used. Keep adding little by little and stop when a soft dough is formed.
