* Step 1
To make Chatpataa Lacchaa Parathaa, first knead the whole wheat flour alongwith 2 tbs oil, 1/2 tsp salt and water as required to get a semi soft dough.

Add the remaining 1 tbs oil and knead well again and set aside covered with a lid for about half an hour or till further use.
* Step 3
Next, mix all the ingredients mentioned for the masala in a mixing bowl.
* Step 4
To make the parathaa, knead the dough well, once again and divide into 4 equal parts.
* Step 5
Roll out one part into a large circular disc, using some flour for dusting in the process.
* Step 6
Spread some clarified butter on the entire rolled out roti and sprinkle some flour over it.

Next, sprinkle 1/4 th of the ready masala mixture over it and fold over the upper half part over the lower half as shown in the picture below.

Next, spread some clarified butter over half part of the folded semicircle. Sprinkle some flour over it and once again fold over the lower half of the roti over the upper half.
* Step 9
Repeat this process of spreading clarified butter over the half part, sprinkling flour over it and folding it again until you get a long tube of the dough.
* Step 10
Stretch it slightly with your hands and roll it into a spiral. Lock the end of the tube below the spiral and press it down slightly with your hands.
* Step 11
Dust this coil into some flour and roll out into a slightly medium thick parathaa (flatbread).

Flip and roast on high heat till brown spots appear on the flipped surface.

Transfer this roasted parathaa to a plate and spread some clarified butter or even some homemade butter over it.

Repeat the same steps till all the parathaas are done.
