Paneer lachha paratha is a deliciously layered, flaky flatbread filled with spiced paneer that offers a perfect blend of comfort and indulgence in every bite. Made with Aashirvad Shudh Chakki Atta, this recipe ensures soft yet crisp layers that hold the flavourful paneer filling beautifully. These parathas are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and pair wonderfully with curries, chutneys, or even a simple bowl of curd.
Mix Aashirvad Shudh Chakki Atta, maida, oil, and salt in a bowl. Add water gradually and knead into a soft dough. Cover and rest for 15 minutes.
