lachhedaar paratha recipe

Pudina lachha Paratha / Layered Paratha

How can one forget the taste of lachhedaar parathas of parathe wali gali of Delhi. Just thinking of lachha parathas, I start drooling. I could never find the same taste of street food or parathas in Chennai or Bangalore. I have lived half of my life in Delhi and food is something which still connects me to that place…

I keep experimenting different things in my kitchen but somehow I can’t match the same taste. Lachhedaar Paratha is a popular flat bread from North India. Once you get familiar with the technique, its pretty easy to make it. I have used whole wheat flour as I consider it more healthy and used Mint leaves for flavoring. I served it with some Dal makhani and cucumber raita (Just click on names for recipe).

  9. Place the paratha on the griddle and turn after a minute. Now again cook for a minute till both sides are lightly browned. Apply ghee lightly and flip again few times.
