What Is Achaari Lachha Paratha?
Achaari paratha gives a unique twist to the classic lachha paratha. The crispness remains the same but with an additional achaar (pickle) masala topping. The rolled-out dough is topped with a generous amount of masala along with ghee. It is then cut into layers, twisted, and rolled out again to give it that signature texture.

To make this paratha, first, we need to prepare the achaari masala. For this, add mustard, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, saunf, methi, dry red chillies, and pepper to a pan.

Now, add haldi, amchoor powder, and salt, and blend to form a smooth powder. To prepare the dough, add atta, ajwain, and salt to a bowl. Mix well, and gradually start adding water to combine everything together and form a smooth dough.
