How to Make Lacha Paratha

Ingredients:

1. 3 cups Flour
2. 2 tbsp oil
3. salt to taste
4. egg (optional)

Method:

• Add all the ingredients together. Mix well and then add lukewarm water, until the dough starts coming together.
• Take some mix of oil (or butter) and oil in a bowl.
• Coat your hands with the mixture and then knead the dough well for 15 min until the dough gets smooth.
• Divide the dough into small balls and start rolling each ball.
• Roll it as thin as possible. It should get almost transparent.
• Spread some melted butter/ghee on the surface of the dough and then start pleating. Once you have pleated it all the way through, it forms into a small rope.
• Pick up the rope at the ends and give it a little twist in the air – like a skipping rope.
• Place it back on the counter and start spiraling it starting from one end till the other end. Once spiralled, give it a little press. Now with a rolling pin, slightly roll it into a circle. Don’t press too hard and don’t roll it too thin.
• Place it in a skillet and cook it with some ghee/oil.
