Pudina laccha paratha or Mint flatbread, as the name suggests this paratha or flatbread is made using whole wheat flour and mint leaves. Having mint in the paratha makes it so flavorful and aromatic. Also, it is a laccha paratha (layered flatbread), which is another addition of crisp and crunchy texture. Pudina laccha paratha is a great choice for any time meal with either chutney or curry or raita.

Pudina laccha paratha is so easy to prepare and ideal for lunch box ideas. My kids love having it with curd but any Indian curry/gravy will go perfectly with this paratha. Having said that pudina laccha paratha will also taste great with pickle or just a cup of tea.

Mint has cooling properties and helps in digestion. You can read more about here. Being born in north India I always witnessed parathas/flatbreads in breakfast items or sometimes for lunch/dinner in order to keep it simple. There we have a variety of parathas, you name it and I will make it. Mint has a very strong aroma and flavor. Mixing with flour paratha comes out so delicious. You can make pooris as well.

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.
