Garlic Lachha Paratha is a flavorful and flaky Indian flatbread that is layered with garlic-infused butter and folded into multiple thin layers, giving it a lachha or "layered" texture.
To prepare Garlic Lachha Paratha, a dough is made from whole wheat flour, water, and salt. Additionally, minced garlic is mixed into the dough to impart its aromatic flavor. The dough is then divided into small portions, rolled out into thin discs, and brushed with melted butter infused with minced garlic.
The disc is then folded into pleats, creating layers, and rolled out again into a thin circular shape. It's cooked on a hot griddle or tawa with a little more butter until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
Garlic Lachha Paratha is often served hot and fresh, accompanied by yogurt, pickles, or chutneys. It's a delicious and indulgent variation of the traditional lachha paratha, perfect for garlic lovers or as a flavorful side dish to complement curries or dal.
