Masala Lachha Paratha/Multi Layered paratha

Lachha Paratha is multilayered shallow fried Northindian flat bread and made by pleating and disc and again rolled, by this way layers are formed,when cooked becomes more visible.It's also called as paratwala paratha and In punjabi Parat means layers.I have made Basic version of lachha Paratha using wheat flour with some spices but you can also make it by using all purpose flour and wheat flour in equal proportions and add some flavour like mint,spinach.I love the texture of Paratha so crispy and flaky.....bathed in butter but amazingly delicious.....looks like pinwheel cookie...when you start eating it will melt in your mouth and you feel that layers are coming off one by another.....Enjoy this superbly yummy Paratha..
