    You have nothing in pantry but need a quick fix for a meal or lunch box?

    I grabbed this idea when I was browsing Instagram. One of the restaurant serves this, but I was not sure if it was stuffed or simple paratha.

    I decided to just make it in the same way as lachcha paratha. If you are a beginner and still want to try this one, just add it to the flour and make it like regular chapati.

    Or little fancier, you can do it as triangle paratha too.

    Top tips

    • Do not make sticky dough, otherwise you won't get the layers properly.
    • Spreading ghee and flour in step 3 is must for getting layers.
    • If you want you can use oil in place of ghee.
    • While coiling, twist as you coil, instead of coiling as such. This way you will get layers spread all over, and not just stacked.
    • I used oregano seasoning we get while we order pizza. You can use any of your favorite Italian seasoning or even mixed seasoning.
    • While cooking, make sure to cook in medium flame to get crispy golden parathas.
    • If cooked in high flame, it will be soft as well as some part in the middle may remain uncooked.
