ABOUT Methi Lachha Paratha | Methi Lachedar Paratha | Fenugreek Lachha Paratha RECIPE

Lachha paratha is quite different from other plain or stuffed paratha both in taste and the way of making. Literally the word 'lachha' means layers in hindi and hence the 'lachha paratha' is layered paratha. This type of paratha is basically made by pleating a disc, rolling the pleated disc like swiss roll into a flat ball and finally rolling into a circle. So in this way, many layers are formed. These parathas are quite crispy as well as delicious. Here in this recipe post, I'll share two types of preparation method of this Indian multi layered flat bread. Whole wheat flour is used here. Instead of wheat flour, all purpose flour (maida) also be used or you can use both of the flour in 1:1 proportion.
