Lachha Paratha is a popular form of North Indian cuisine. This paratha is like a masterpiece that you can easily make at home. Made with whole wheat flour-based dough, this paratha has a crispy outside and a soft inside. And later on, we add the secret sauce – an expertly blended mixture of plain butter and ghee (that wonderful clarified butter) – which imparts a tantalizing flavor to the dough.

The only difference is that we make Kerala parathas with flour, and we make laccha parathas with wheat flour..
