Lachha Paratha with Chicken curry recipe

Sure! Here’s a delicious recipe for Lachha Paratha paired with Chicken Curry.

Lachha Paratha Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour (maida)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons oil or ghee (for the dough)
• Water (as needed to make the dough)
• Extra ghee or oil (for layering)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:

• In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt. Add 2 tablespoons of oil or ghee and rub it into the flour.
• Gradually add water and knead until you have a soft, pliable dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

1. Shape the Lachha Parathas:

• Divide the dough into equal-sized balls (about 6-8).
• Take one ball and roll it out into a thin circle (about 6 inches in diameter).
• Brush some ghee or oil over the rolled-out dough. You can sprinkle a little flour for extra layering.
• Now, make horizontal pleats in the rolled dough like an accordion. Then, roll it into a spiraled shape.
• Flatten the spiral gently, then roll it out again into a circle (about 7-8 inches in diameter).

1. Cook the Paratha:

• Heat a tawa or skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled paratha on it.
• Cook for about 1-2 minutes until you see bubbles forming. Flip it over and brush with ghee or oil.
• Cook for another 1-2 minutes, pressing down lightly with a spatula, until it is golden and crispy. Repeat for the remaining parathas.

Chicken Curry Recipe

Ingredients:

• 500g chicken, cut into pieces (bone-in for more flavor)
• 2 large onions, finely chopped
• 2 medium tomatoes, pureed
• 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
• 2-3 green chilies, slit (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• Salt, to taste
• 3-4 tablespoons oil
• Fresh coriander leaves, for garnish
• Water, as needed

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken:

• In a bowl, marinate the chicken pieces with turmeric, red chili powder, and salt. Let it sit for about 15-20 minutes.

1. Cook the Masala:

• Heat oil in a pot over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
• Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
• Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and green chilies. Sauté until the raw smell disappears.

1. Add the Chicken:

• Add the marinated chicken to the pot and cook until it’s browned on all sides.
• Add the pureed tomatoes and cook until the oil separates from the mixture (about 5-7 minutes).

1. Spice it Up:

• Add coriander powder, cumin powder, and salt; mix well. If the mixture is too thick, add water to reach the desired consistency.
• Cover and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
• Stir in garam masala. Adjust seasoning as needed.

1. Serve:

• Garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Serve the chicken curry hot with lachha parathas.
