If you want restaurant-style laccha parathas at home for dinner or lunch, follow these 5 key tips in your kitchen.

Kneading The Dough

A well-kneaded dough results in the desired elasticity and strength, essential for creating the signature flaky layers.

The Art Of Laccha

The technique of ‘laccha ' requires you to roll the dough into a thin circle, then apply a generous layer of ghee or oil. You have to sprinkle some flour, and fold it into pleats, like a fan and coil the pleated dough into a spiral.

Using Ghee

Ghee enhances the paratha's flakiness. When layering the dough, generously apply ghee between each fold to create distinct, crispy layers.

Using Heat Properly

Cook the paratha on a medium-high flame to puff it up and achieve a crispy exterior without burning.

Press Gently

You need to gently press it with a spatula around the edges so that every part gets direct heat, helping the layers separate and puff up.
