Mix water and wheat flour to make a dough. When tight the flour is
ready to make the Lachha Paratha. Now take the dough and divide it into
equal sized balls. Again divide the ball into two small parts. Give the
first portion a spiral shape. Apply the dry flour on the spiral surface

heated Tawa or flat pan. Apply oil on one side of the parantha and then
turn it to the other side. Apply oil on this side too. Press the
Parantha with the help of a spatula. Keep the parantha on the Tawa till
it turns very light brown. Once prepared place it in a platter and put

and then serve.
