Ingredients
- 1 cup wheat flour
- 1 cup maida / plain flour / all purpose flour
- ¾ T spoon salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- Pinch baking soda , optional
- 2 tablespoons oil
- ½ cup milk , warmed
- Water , as needed, for kneading
- ¼ cup wheat flour
- oil , as needed
Instructions
- To begin, combine all-purpose flour and wheat flour in a large mixing bowl. Moreover, add salt, sugar, baking soda, and a teaspoon of oil. Also, rub your fingers together to make a good lather with your hands.
- Now add the milk and begin kneading.
- Knead the dough until it is smooth and soft, adding water as needed. Knead the dough for at least 15 minutes.
- Furthermore, only a tsp of oil should be used to grease the dough. Allow to rest for 30 minutes, covered with a damp cloth.
- LACHHA PARATHA RECIPE: Begin by rolling out and flattening a large ball of dough.
- Sprinkle with wheat flour. Roll it into a thin circle in the shape of a chapati.
- Roll as thinly as possible. Grease the chapati with oil and dust with wheat flour.
- It aids in the creation of flaky layers. Begin making pleats by folding them with your fingers.
- Distribute the flour as evenly as possible. Begin rolling out the flour in the shape of a swiss roll.
- Also, gently press the end to secure it. Dust some whole wheat flour over the wrapped ball.
- And then begin rolling in a thin circle. If you roll it too thin, you won't be able to enjoy the layers.
- Place the rolled paratha on a hot chapati tawa. After a minute, flip and cook from the other side.
- Once golden brown spots appear on both sides, grease with oil. Moreover, flip and fry from both sides.
- The paratha is then crushed to create layers. Finally, serve the roti immediately with your preferred curry.
