About Lachcha paratha

Lachcha Paratha is a popular Indian bread known for its flaky, layered texture and rich taste. Originating from North Indian cuisine, this paratha is traditionally made from whole wheat flour mixed with water, salt, and oil or ghee. The dough is rolled out, layered with fat, and folded multiple times to create its distinctive layers. When cooked on a griddle, it turns golden and crispy, making it a favorite accompaniment to curries and gravies. Nutritionally, Lachcha Paratha offers energy due to its carbohydrate content from the wheat flour. Whole wheat flour provides fiber, which supports digestion, but the use of ghee or oil can increase the fat content and calorie density. While Lachcha Paratha can be part of a balanced meal, moderating portion sizes and pairing it with nutrient-rich dishes like vegetables or lean proteins can make it a healthier indulgence.
