Methi Lachha Paratha

Methi Lachha Paratha is a super delicious, flavoured, multi-layered flat bread which has a distinct aroma of fenugreek and freshly baked whole wheat flour. It can be paired up with any curry or dal of your choice and I bet, it would always taste unbelievably tasty. 

Excuse me everyone, but today, I am getting a bit nostalgic.

Recently, I visited my mom's place in Jhansi and even met my friends from Dental Science days.

While I am literally cherishing the memories I made with them, I am also getting reminded of the Methi Lachha Paratha Recipe that we relished at a Dhaba during our trip back home.

Laccha Paratha is basically a Punjabi delicacy which is made in a form of layered flatbread.

Lacche in the word Laccha Paratha means strands or layers in the paratha which are entwined in a circular pattern, as a result, when we roll the Laccha Paratha, it tends to develop multifarious layers which in turn open up to be crisp and satiating.

I have already prepared Laccha Paratha for like zillion times for dinner or lunch.

When it comes to its variations, I have also prepared Pudina Laccha Paratha in the past but today out of sheer nostalgia, I am all set to prepare Methi Laccha Paratha Recipe.

Methi Laccha Paratha Recipe is a super delicious, flavoured, multi-layered flatbread which has a distinct aroma of fenugreek and freshly baked whole wheat flour.

It can be paired up with any curry or dal of your choice and I bet, it would always taste unbelievably tasty.

Plus, I love the fact that fenugreek grants a subtle dash of pleasantness and flavour to Methi Laccha Paratha which completely elevates it and makes it an extraordinary flatbread to gorge on!

Before you start drooling, here's an interesting recipe of Methi Lachha Paratha Recipe.
