This Dill Leaves Lachcha Paratha is a flaky, layered flatbread or paratha prepared using whole wheat flour and fresh dill leaves.
Ingredients:
Fresh Dill Leaves – 1 bunch
Water – 1 cup
Salt to taste
Whole Wheat Flour – 2 cups + for dusting
Rice Flour – 2 tablespoons
Cooking Oil – 3 tablespoons + roasting each paratha
Method:
- Remove the stems of dill leaves stalks.
- Wash the fine dill leaves thoroughly in water.
- Chop the dill leaves. Keep aside.
- Take water and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- Add chopped dill leaves. Mix well to combine.
- Add the whole wheat flour. Knead into a smooth dough. Add more water,little by little, if required, to get a soft dough. The dough must be pliable. Keep it covered for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together rice flour and 3 tablespoons of oil. Keep aside.
- Now knead the dough again for a minute.
- Divide the dough into equal large lemon sized dough-balls.
- Lightly dust the rolling board/kitchen platform with some whole wheat flour.
- Roll a dough-ball over whole wheat flour to gently dust it, place it on the rolling board and roll it into a flat circle/disc.
- Spread the rice flour+oil mixture evenly on the rolled disc.
- Now from one end, carefully fold the disc in a zig-zag pattern until the other end.
- Carefully roll it like a swiss roll (like you roll a mat).
- Press the end to seal it tightly (not to leave the end open).
- Lightly dust this with whole wheat flour and roll it into thick disc 1/4cm using a rolling pin. If you care less about the quantity of oil used, instead of dusting it with flour, pour 1/2 teaspoon oil on the roll and then roll using a rolling pin.
- Place it on your palm and slowly push it in the centre to get the clear layers.
- Now place it on a preheated griddle, on medium flame and roast until small brown specks are formed at the bottom.
- Slip the side, smear some oil on top and let the other side roast to get brown specks.
- Flip the side again and smear little oil.
- Serve hot with any gravy or curry of your choice.
