Whole Wheat Mint Lachha Paratha-A very tasty and delicious whole wheat mint lachha paratha paired with jeera rice and pomegranate raita is perfect for relaxed weekdays lunch or dinner.
So it is summer holidays and officially summer at its peak for the first time in very long here in Ireland. Girls being at home would want to have something to eat after every two hours or so.
That’s why I started making snacks and baked goodies which can last a couple of days and store them in air tights so can offer them whenever they would want.
This mint lachha paratha is our new favorite dish, and I served it with jeera aloo, and pomegranate raita and both of them loved it in the lunch. I will share the pomegranate raita recipe real soon.
Like storing snacks, I also need to make easy and tasty lunch and dinner recipes to please them, and since it is the holidays, they are more demanding.
Frankly, I am not complaining as this is the time I would be making some more new recipes and can get my hands to try the bookmarked recipe ideas this whole summer for two months. Happy kids so Happy Mommy!

Mint Lachha Paratha
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour+ more for dusting
- 1/2 cup mint leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon carom seeds
- 1 teaspoon red chilli powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala

Instructions

- Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Roll one ball of dough as thin as you can and brush with oil. Sprinkle some dry flour and start creating thin pleats.
- Once you reach the edge, roll down the dough into a round ball like a swiss roll.
- Likewise, make all the dough rounds and keep them covered aside.
- Heat a skillet on medium heat. Roll one dough round into a paratha shape.
- Transfer the paratha onto the heated skillet and cook from one side, flip and cook from the other side too.
