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.
In order to make these yummy things more crispy, you may have to use a tad bit of oil more! Don’t get worried about it because how often do you relish Laccha Parathas at home?
For a day, shed all your reservations, prepare piping hot, crunchy Laccha Parathas and feast on it with your family. I have just shared its easy recipe with you all:
