Description
Kerala Porotta, also known as Malabar Parotta or Kerala Paratha, is a popular and traditional South Indian flatbread from Kerala and the Malabar region. It is a flaky, layered bread made from maida (all-purpose flour) and a few other ingredients like oil, ghee, salt, and sugar.
What sets Kerala Porotta apart is the way it is prepared. The rolled-out dough is layered with oil or ghee and then folded into multiple layers, creating a flaky and crispy texture when cooked. Traditionally, it is cooked on a griddle or a flat pan, and the layers puff up as they cook, giving the Porotta its distinctive appearance and texture. It is usually cooked until it turns golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside while remaining soft and layered on the inside.
Kerala Porotta can be bought with Chicken, Beef or Duck curry. The combination of Kerala Porotta with spicy curries is a favorite among food enthusiasts in the region.
