                           Lots of controversies and debates have arisen upon the consumption of parottas, mainly the parottas being made with maida. But still all the hotels and restaurants are facing a big demand for the parottas. This very demand for the parottas induces them to increase the quantity to be produced instead of reducing the production.                         Wheat parottas are much healthier than the normal parottas.The wheat parottas also known as lachha parathas in northern side of India is also a very famous dish amongst them.The very long and tedious process of making the parottas is worth having one. Its definitely a full meal. The kneading process is the one which makes the parottas more and more softer and crispier. But if you are health conscious, you can just discard the ghee/oil being used. These homemade parottas are simple with very simple ingredients. Now let’s have a detailed look at how it’s being made. Wheat
