Lachha paratha is a layered Indian flat bread. Generally lachha paratha is made with all purpose flour however I have used wheat flour. Adding kale and spinach make its more healthy and tasty. For kids who don’t like leafy vegetables, this is a great idea in order to feed them green vegetables. It can be packed in their lunch boxes and it goes well with sauce and any side dish.
