    Mint paratha is a great substitute for naan or tandoori roti as it is easy to make comparatively. Traditionally parathas are cooked by applying ghee (clarified butter). I use oil to make vegan pudina paratha.

    In restaurants, normally dry mint powder and refined flour are used to make this layered pudina laccha paratha. But you can make simple paratha and shape them in circular, triangular, or square shape if no time to make it flaky.

    You can make this paratha with pudina powder as well. Both ways this pudina paratha makes a perfect festive recipe.

    There is no need to make it flaky, you can simply roll the paratha in regular shape and make. You can substitute mint powder with kasoori methi ( fenugreek powder) for another variation.

    ½ bunch mint leaves (pudina leaves)
    1 green chili

    How to make pudina paratha

    There are two ways to prepare pudina laccha paratha.  First, use fresh leaves, grind together with little water, ginger, green chili. Prepare dough with this chutney and make parathas. This way ensures an evenly spread mint layer in paratha. Second, if you have dry mint powder then mix in the dry whole wheat flour and then make a smooth dough.

    Both ways pudina laccha paratha gives you benefits of mint, but nothing beats the freshly used mint leaves flavor and freshness in parathas. So let see how to make pudina laccha paratha or mint paratha.

    1. First of all, prepare chutney by grinding all the listed ingredients given above under "how to make chutney". Keep it ready.chutney preparation click

    Serving suggestions

    Pudina paratha goes very well with any veg gravy or Indian paneer recipes. Vegan sana thongba, vegan aloo matar gravy, tofu matar, lauki chana dal, moong dal vegetables are few Indian curries which would taste delicious with this laccha paratha.

    Storing & Reheating

    Yes, you can freeze these pudina parathas up to a month. First, roll a paratha and place on hot griddle. Just cook it until bubbles start appearing on the surface. flip on the other side and wait for the bubbles. Take it off from the griddle and repeat the same with all the parathas. Let them cool down. This all makes half cooked pudina paratha.

    Stack all half cooked pudina laccha parathas in a ziplock and freeze. Whenever you need, just open ziplock, and keep them outside for a few minutes. Cook them on both sides by applying oil and serve with your favorite paneer recipe.

    Tips & FAQ's

    • In the restaurant, normally refined flour is used to make this paratha. I chose whole wheat flour to make. However, feel free to use refined flour or maida or a combination of both.
    • After applying oil on the rolled thin surface make sure you sprinkle some dry flour. This trick makes paratha khasta, flaky, and crispy in texture.
    • Place the rolled paratha on a hot griddle. Else paratha will be very soft.
    • After kneading the dough, cover it and keep aside for 10 minutes. This trick works to make dough soft and smooth.
    • If the dry mint powder is not available then use fresh mint leaves and vice versa.
    Can we use fresh mint leaves to make this pudina laccha paratha recipe?

    Yes, I am using fresh mint leaves to make this paratha. However, if fresh mint leaves are not available, feel free to use mint leaves powder. Just replace fresh leaves with powder and proceed. Only thing using fresh mint enhances the flavors, makes more aromatic and refreshing paratha.
