Dust flour and roll our flat parathas with each section of the dough. Heat a griddle, pan or tava and cook the parathas on each side, about a couple of minutes turning regularly. Drizzle some oil or ghee and brown the sides. I like my parathas a little crispy. Crush the parathas gently with your hands to enhance the layers and serve. You can actually see the swirls! These Lachcha Parathas are great with curries and gravies.
