Laccha Paratha

Ingredients:-

2 cups Whole Wheat Flour + extra for dusting
Salt as needed
2.5 tablespoon Oil + extra for cooking Parathas
Water as needed

Instructions:-

In a bowl, add the whole-wheat flour along with salt – mix well. Sprinkle water little by little and make it into firm pliable dough. Knead the dough for atleast 5-7mins and add a teaspoon of oil on top – knead again. Let the dough rest for atleast 10mins.
Make seven (largish) equal sized balls out of the dough. Dust some wheat flour and roll each ball of dough into a thin roundel or roti. On one of the rolled out roti, using a pastry brush, spread some oil all over. And dust whole wheat flour a little evenly over the top.
Starting from one end, pleat the rolled out roti until you reach the other end making sure the pleats are a cm long. Roll the pleated roti to form a roundel. Repeat this with rest of the dough balls.
If required dust some flour and roll it again thin. Meanwhile heat a flat tawa/pan. Gently put the rolled out Paratha on hot tawa. On medium flame, cook the paratha on both sides gently pressing it down with a spatula until brown spots appear all over it and the layers puff up perfectly. Apply oil as needed on both sides and remove from heat.
Serve hot with any gravy
