Lachcha Paratha

All purpose flour - 2 cup + little more for dusting

Baking soda - a pinch

Sugar - 1 tsp

Salt - 1 tsp

Oil - 2 tbsp

Luke warm water - enough to make a smooth dough

Oil - 2 - 3 tbsp

Combine together AP Flour, Baking soda, Sugar and Salt in a deep bowl. Add 1 tbsp Oil to it and mix well. Add Water little by little to the mixture and knead to a smooth dough. Keep aside rest for an hour.

Make about 8 - 9 balls out of the prepared dough. Take one ball, dust withAP Flour and roll it out as thin as possible. Spread Oil all over in one side then make pleats with the rolled dough. Make a roll out of pleated dough, and bring the end to the center. Repeat the same with remaining dough. Keep covered and let rest for about 10 min.

Heat a tawa on medium heat. Take one of the pleated and rolled dough, roll it with a rolling pin to make the Parathas, and place it over the hot tawa and cook until both sides turn crispy. Remove from heat, crush it lightly from the edges, with your hand, to seperate layers.

Serve hot.
