Herbed Laccha Paratha/parantha: (Chives, Parsley Thyme)
About:
Laccha paratha is a kind of layered flat bread using wheat flour. I used sunflower spread to layer the parathas and spreading some fat or oil makes paratha flaky and it is aromatic with the fresh herbs in it. So its delicious, flaky and herby flatbread.
If you don’t prefer herbs feel free to skip and just make it plain or even if you feel layering is time consuming and tedious can just roll cook and enjoy like herbed tortillas/roti.
Health benefits:
Thyme – This herb has a pretty impressive resumé, which is used to treat bronchitis, whooping cough, sore throats, arthritis, upset stomach, diarrhea, gas, acne, high blood pressure, yeast infection, various types of cancer, and parasitic worm infections.
Chives – This herb, which looks a lot like the grass in your front lawn, is filled with antioxidants.
Parsley – This powerful little green gets some brain-boosting clout from quercetin, a chemical found in the herb that helps protect brain cells from free radical damage.
