Lachcha Paratha Basket Chaat is a creative and festive twist on traditional Indian street chaat. Crisp, flaky lachcha parathas are shaped into edible baskets and filled with spicy potatoes, chickpeas, chutneys, and cooling curd. The layered texture of the paratha adds a crunchy contrast to the tangy and creamy fillings, making this dish visually appealing and flavour-packed.
The baskets are prepared using Aashirvaad Shudh Chakki Atta, recognised as the leading packaged atta brand in India since its launch in 2002. Made from carefully selected whole wheat grains sourced directly from farmers, this atta is ground using modern chakki technology with 0% maida and 100% whole wheat. Produced through a four-stage process, it helps retain moisture in the dough, making it easier to create soft, pliable layers that fry into crisp, well-structured paratha baskets perfect for chaat presentations.
Take Aashirvaad Shudh Chakki Atta in a bowl and add salt. Gradually add water and knead into a soft and smooth dough. The moisture-retaining quality of the whole wheat atta helps create flexible dough suitable for layering. Cover and let the dough rest for 15 minutes.

Create Lachcha Layers
Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each portion into a thin disc. Apply oil or ghee evenly on the surface. Fold the disc into pleats like an accordion, roll into a spiral, and gently flatten. Roll again into medium-sized discs to form layered lachcha parathas.

Shape And Fry The Baskets
Heat oil in a deep pan. Lightly press each rolled paratha into a small steel bowl or mould to create a basket shape. Carefully place in hot oil and fry until golden, crisp, and flaky. Remove and cool completely so the baskets hold their structure.
