Coriander Laccha Paratha

Coriander Laccha Paratha is an Indian flatbread floavoured with coriander leaves spiced with green chilies and whole spices like Ajwain and Kalonji. This is a pleated and rolled out bread which turns out flaky after cooking.

Fresh coriander leaves gives a beautiful earthly taste to the paratha and you can spice it up with green chilies and other spices. What makes it more easy about this paratha is that you can simply add the freshly ground coriander paste to the wheat flour and knead to a dough.

While rolling out, apply little ghee and flour to pleat it and roll out again. This is a wonderful way to get everybody eat herbs. Especially when you have excess coriander on hand and want ideas to use it up, this is surely an excellent way.

I paired these beautiful green coriander parathas with a delicious potato chickpea kurma. The bright green colour surely adds beauty to the whole Thali.

What else can be prepared with this green Dough?

Well apart from the parathas, you can make these as Phulkas, Pooris etc depending on what you plan for the meal. As the dough has green chilies and salt, the parathas are good on its own.

You can either freeze the fresh coriander paste or make the dough and stock this in fridge. However, freshly made dough always tastes great. These coriander laccha paratha are part of the Colourful Rangoli Indian Thali.

With these pretty green parathas, I am ending my BM#116, Week 1 themed on Platters for Elders. Check out what I had planned as Platters for Kids on SYL.
