well, to be honest, i am not a huge fan of paratha recipes and i am more than happy with plain chapati or roti. but my husband prefers to have something different instead of having the same monotonous plain roti and chapati for his dinner. hence i end up making different types of paratha for our day to day dinner. particularly i end up making variety of lachha paratha as it is easier compared to the vegetable-based paratha. basically, there is an extra step of preparing and mashing the boiled vegetables. chilli garlic lachha paratha is one such easy and more frequently made paratha in our house. it contains all the required spices in it and hence thick yoghurt or pickle is sufficient as a side dish.
furthermore, i would like to highlight some of the easy and important tips, suggestions and variations for garlic paratha recipe. firstly, i have made this recipe with wheat flour as it is easy to digest and healthy. but you can also make with plain flour as it is served in restaurants and hotels. secondly, if you find layering is time-consuming and overwhelming, you can use the same dough to make plain roti from it. lastly, as an extension to this recipe, you can have a topping of finely chopped garlic and chillies with melted butter on top of the paratha. basically very similar to the garlic naan recipe. you may have to stick the paratha to tawa by applying water on one side and fry it like any naan.
