2. Re-knead the Dough:
   After the resting time, knead the dough once again for a minute until it is perfectly soft.

3. Shape the Dough:
   Take a portion of the dough and roll it into a ball using your hands. Set aside.

4. Heat the Tawa (Griddle):
   Heat a tawa or griddle over medium heat. Once it’s hot, add a little ghee and spread it evenly.

5. Roll the Paratha:
   Dust the rolling surface lightly with dry flour. Flatten the dough ball between your palms and use a rolling pin to roll it out into a round shape, approximately 6 inches in diameter.

6. Layering the Paratha:
   Brush the rolled dough with a small amount of ghee. Now, fold the dough into layers by folding it from one side to the other, creating a pleated pattern. Keep folding the dough all the way to the end. Once it’s folded, roll it up into a coil shape.

7. Second Rolling:
   Now, gently press down on the rolled dough coil and roll it out again into a flat paratha, using dry flour to prevent sticking.

8. Cook the Paratha:
   Place the rolled paratha on the heated tawa. Drizzle a little ghee on both sides and cook, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking. Cook until the paratha turns golden brown and crispy on both sides.

9. Serve Hot:
   Once the paratha is cooked, remove it from the tawa and serve immediately with your favorite curry or chutney.

Tips:

• Adjust the amount of ghee according to your preference.
• If you like a softer texture, you can skip some of the ghee during the rolling and cooking process.
• For best results, serve the paratha hot and fresh to maintain its crispy layers.

Enjoy this hearty and wholesome Whole Wheat Lachha Paratha with any curry of your choice for a delicious Indian dinner experience!
