Malabar Parotta is a layered, flaky flatbread originating from Kerala, perfect to pair with curries. Here's how to recreate this soft and crispy delight at home.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour 2 tbsp oil or ghee 1/2 tsp sugar 1/2 tsp salt Water, as needed
Step 1
Mix flour, sugar, salt, and oil in a bowl. Gradually add water and knead to form a soft, elastic dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and rest for 30 minutes.
Step 2
Divide the dough into small balls, roll each one thin, and brush with oil. Create layers by folding and coiling the dough, then flatten each ball again into discs.
Step 3
Cook the parotta on a hot tawa until golden and crispy on both sides. Serve hot.
