Lachha paratha is popular North Indian paratha recipe. It is also known as lachedar paratha or layered paratha. Now a days parathas are famous in all places, available in small hotels also. The preparation of kerala paratha is also same as lachha paratha. But the difference is kerala parathas are prepared using maida,eggs. We have to knead the dough for long time in the preparation of kerala paratha and consumption of oil is also more compared to lachha paratha. There are different forms of preparing lachha paratha. I know two ways which i regularly prepare at home.
Applying oil while rolling chapathi's & rolling chapathi very smoothly are important to get layered paratha. Otherwise you do not get layers . Depending on time and ocassion i select the way to prepare this lachha/layered paratha.
It looks bit difficult to prepare, but trust me it is easy to prepare if you know the technique. In order to get layers it consumes some amount of oil/ghee. Using ghee adds taste to paratha. In any special occassions prepare this lachha parathas with any rich curries like Kaju curry (upcoming post), paneer butter masala, Kadai Paneer, khova paneer or with any dal.
