7.00 parathas.
Ingredients
For The Lachha Paratha
2 cups whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta)
2 tbsp ghee
salt to taste
whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta) for rolling and sprinkling
7 tsp ghee for brushing
7 tsp ghee for cooking
Method
For lachha paratha
To make lachha paratha, combine the whole wheat flour, 2 tbsp ghee and salt in a deep bowl, mix well and knead into a soft dough using enough lukewarm water.
Divide the dough into 7 equal portions.
Roll a portion of the dough into a 200 mm. (8”) diameter circle using a little whole wheat flour for rolling.
Spread 1 tsp of ghee evenly over it.
Sprinkle a little whole wheat flour evenly over it and spread it lightly.
Fold from one end to the other to make pleats like a fan, while gently pressing them in between.
Roll it over again from one end to the other end to form a swiss roll and seal the open end tightly at the bottom in the centre.
Turnover the swiss roll so that the sealed side faces upwards and again gently roll into a 150 mm. (6”) diameter circle using a little whole wheat flour for rolling.
Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and cook the paratha, using 1 tsp of ghee, till golden brown spots appear on both the sides.
Remove on a plate and press it gently from the sides towards the centre to make the layers more visible in the paratha.
Repeat steps 3 to 10 to make 6 more lachha parathas.
Serve the hot lachha paratha immediately with some chilled curds.
