Have you tried square chapathi with layers inside them ? Today’s recipe is soft layered chapathi, a flaky flat bread popular in India and Pakisthan. Another name for layered chapathi is Ghadichi chapathi. You can make this chapathi / paratha in triangle shape or square shape like I did.  This multilayered chapathi is crispy on outside and soft on inside. My mom used to make this often at home and this is my appa’s favourite. You can pack this square shaped layered paratha for kids lunch box. Beginners can also try this chapathi at home.  Making layered paratha is not that difficult, but you need little patience. You can serve with any side dish of your choice, I had it with potato kurma. I will post the recipe for potato kurma tomorrow. Today I will show how to make layer paratha at home. Also check my other roti recipes in my blog.
