Description

Lacha Paratha is a traditional North Indian flatbread that stands out for its unique flaky and crispy layers. Made from whole wheat flour, ghee or oil, and a touch of salt, this paratha is created using a special folding and rolling technique that forms visible, delicious layers. It’s pan-fried to golden perfection, giving it a slightly crisp texture on the outside and soft, chewy layers on the inside. Lacha Paratha is often served hot with curries, dals, or even enjoyed with a dollop of yogurt or pickle. It’s a staple in Indian homes and restaurants, loved for both its taste and texture.

Lacha Paratha has its roots in the culinary traditions of North India, especially in Punjab. The word "Lacha" refers to the layers created by the rolling and folding technique. This technique is thought to be inspired by the methods used in Mughlai cooking, where richness and presentation were as important as flavor. Over time, this flaky flatbread became a popular choice across Indian households and dhabas, celebrated for its satisfying texture and compatibility with a variety of Indian dishes.
