About the dish

Laccha paratha is a traditional flatbread originating from the northern parts of India. The name of this paratha variety means multi-layered paratha, referring to its flaky and layered texture that goes well with rich and creamy curries and dal dishes. These layers are made by creating pleats from the dough, and it’s then folded like a pinwheel. The flatbread is made with a simple combination of flour, water, salt, and oil or ghee. After it’s been cooked in a tandoor, laccha paratha should be flaky and crispy on the exterior and soft inside.
