recipe. lachha paratha is a popular paratha recipe prepared in ease. it is very
similar to kerala paratha however, taste different. there are many ways of
preparing lachha parantha in india. however, i have showed, two simple way of
creating perfect layers. lachha paratha doesn’t require more oil as of kerala
parota.
initially, i use to believe that, lachha paratha and kerala
paratha are same. however, they are completely different. i would say both are
cousin parathas. the main difference is the flour, obliviously. while, in
lachha paratha, we use 1:1 ratio of wheat and all purpose flour.
where as, in malabar
paratha, it is just plain flour with lot of oil. both the parathas are prepared
with multi layers. perhaps it is the confusing part for most of them. also,
laccha paratha is good for digestion compared to malabar paratha. because, the
dough is prepared with just maida and is not good for digestion.
