Can we use fresh mint leaves to make pudina paratha recipe?

In this pudina paratha recipe, I have used dried mint, but you can use fresh mint leaves as well. Thus, you will have yummy crisp fresh mint laccha paratha. To make fresh mint paratha all you need to do is, add ¾ cup of very finely chopped pudina leaves into the flour (to below measure) and knead.

Hence, you will have chatpata masala pudina paratha recipe.

Can Pudina paratha be frozen?

Yes, indeed, we can freeze the pudina lachha paratha in a freezer upto 3 months easily. To freeze them, roll all the parathas, then place each on the hot griddle, and cook until just bubble appear on both the sides and take it off the heat. Repeat the same for all the mint parathas, this is called as half cooked parathas. Now, stack the pudina lachha paratha with butter paper or parchment paper in between each of them. Then, place the paratha stack in a clean zip pouch and freeze. Whenever, you want to relish or serve it to the guest, just keep at the counter for few minutes and fry it on the hot griddle using ghee, oil or butter.

Tips to make pudina paratha recipe:

To make pudina lachha paratha, it very important to knead the dough soft and smooth. Once the dough is kneaded well, do cover and allow it to rest for sometime, preferably 30 minutes.

Another key point to make extremely flaky pudina laccha paratha, roll the dough ball as thin as possible. Do not worry, if it tears at any point while rolling the dough thin. At the same time, it is also very important to brush the thin rolled disc generously with oil or ghee. This will not only give you many layers but will also make the laccha parathas crisp and flaky.

If you prefer to make plain lachha paratha recipe, you can skip the making of garlic oil step and mint. Instead you have to apply plain refined oil before pleating.

To get the best result, following the ingredients and steps exactly is important, then In Shaa Allah you will get them right always. All the best !!

📖 Recipe

Pudina Paratha

How to make pudina lachha paratha recipe step by step:

To knead the dough for pudina lachha paratha recipe:

In a large bowl, sift salt and flour together. Add sugar, 3 tbsp oil and mix gently with the fingers until slightly crumbly

Now, make a well in the center and pour half of the milk and start kneading. Do not add all the milk at a time.

Add the remaining milk gradually and the dough for 6-7 minutes to until very soft and smooth. Dough should bounce back when made an indentation with the finger.

Then, cover the dough with the damp cloth and keep it to rest for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small pan, heat oil. When oil is hot, add crushed garlic. Lower the heat and allow it to cook till garlic are light golden brown (do not burn it) as in Pic1 above

Take it off the heat and keep it aside.

To roll pudina lachha paratha:

After 30 minutes, divide the dough in 8 equal sized balls. Cover the balls with damp cloth to avoid drying out.

Take one ball, dust it well and roll it out as thin as possible (like a paper). Don’t worry if it tears a bit but roll it very thinly as in Pic 3,4,5 above This is the key step to thin flaky pleats in parathas. I rolled out the dough into approx 15 cm diameter

Then, generously, the prepared garlic oil and sprinkle mint over the rolled dough as in Pic 6,7,8 above

From the one side start making a pleat (creasing) like we do for making a paper fan. Do not make thick /broad pleats(crease) , it should be very thin to get good flakes/layers/lacchaas shown in Pic 9. Many pleats/crease, more flaky lacchas you get.

Then, roll the pleated dough, tucking the end below in the center to seal and form the swiss roll as shown in Pic 10 above

Repeat the same for all the balls. Cover the rolls for another 10 minutes and keep it to rest. Take one roll and roll it out to 8-9 inch disc as shown in Pic 11 above

To fry mint paratha (pudina paratha):

To fry the pudina paratha, first heat the griddle or tawa well

Once the tawa is hot, put the pudina paratha on hot tawa and cook till light brown spots appear, flip. At this stage, shown in Pic 12 when light brown spots appear on both the sides, you can take it of the griddle, cool it for 2 minutes, place a piece of butter paper in between the two parathas, make a stack , place it in zip pouch and freeze for later use

Apply oil on both the sides and fry till they brown and crisp

Once the paratha is ready, take it off the griddle, and with both the palms crush lightly from the edges to open up the beautiful layers/flakes of the parathas as shown in Pic 14

Enjoy this wonderful flaky crisp and soft within pudina paratha with kebabs, curries/gravies or any vegetable/sabzi of your choice.
