A staple flatbread of Kerala kitchens, cooked on a hot tawa until it puffs and develops golden spots. Tear it apart with your hands and use it to mop up every last drop of curry.
Ingredientsfor 7 servings
- 3 cup All purpose flour(Maida
- Salt, as needed
- Ghee
- Oil
- Water, to taste
Preparation
Step 1
First in a large mixing bowl take 3 cups maida, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp salt and 2 tbsp ghee. Now add water and start to knead the dough. Add water slowly and knead to a smooth and soft dough. Further, add 2 tbsp oil, cover and rest for 1 hour.
Step 2
Knead until the dough absorbs all the oil. Now make small sized balls out of that dough and apply that oil ghee mix all over that. Keep for 15 minutes.
Step 3
Now take the ball and roll gently, apply some oil and pull and spread as thinly as possible.
Step 4
Cut into thin strips using a sharp knife.
Step 5
Bring together the strips and pull slightly. Now roll spiral, making sure all the strips are intact with greased hand, pat and spread the dough. Roll slightly thick, making sure the layers are intact.
Step 6
Heat and grease the tawa on medium heat with ghee or oil. Cook on medium heat until the base is cooked. Flip over and spread ½ tsp oil. Cook on medium heat until both sides goes golden brown. Crush the parotta gently, this helps to separate the layers.
Step 7
Finally, kerala parrota with chicken curry.
Tip
Brush with butter or ghee immediately after taking it off the griddle — the hot surface absorbs it instantly.
