Needless to say, the aroma that fills the air and I love that smell while walking down the street…even the thought makes me drool..:-) I always thought it was a very difficult to try in house, but was surprised to see that it was not the case.Though it does take some time to prepare, but worth the efforts ! I adapted this recipe from various internet sites and by seeing couple of cooking videos.It pairs well with spicy dishes (vegetarian or non-vegetarian).
Cooking Time : 30 minutes
Makes : 8-10 small sized parotta
Ingredients :
All purpose flour/Maida : 2cups
Luke warm water as required
Veg oil :1tbsp
Salt to taste
How to make Kerala Parotta-Porotta | Homemade Porotta | Malabar Porotta :
1. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and knead well to make a dough by adding water little by little, like chappathi dough consistency.
2. Knead the dough for 10-minutes to get a nice layered parotta. Cover it with a wet towel, keep it aside for 1 hour.
3. Divide the dough into balls in size of your closed palm. Keep the balls under the wet cloth so that it won’t get dry.
4. Take a portion and apply some oil on it and roll the ball as thin as possible;apply a little more oil over the rolled dough.(Note: While spreading the dough use enough oil on the surface, so that it wont stick together when you folds).
5. Hold the two ends of the dough straight and make pleates layers on the rolled dough starting from one end.
6. Holding at one end of the layered dough ,rotate it round and keep aside,again cover with wet towel.
7. Place the folded dough on the table, use your hand to spread it.Parotta should be a medium thick round.
8. Heat a nonstick pan on medium heat,pour a spoon oil and fry the parotta turning frequently,until speckled brown and firm.
9. Keep the cooked porotta in a air tight container.
10. When 4-5 parottas are done,place them in a flat surface and tap from the both sides.This is to help the layers to separate.(Note: Do not beat them soo hard,this tapping has to be done when the parotta is hot if not it will break).
11. Yummy Kerala Parotta is ready serve with Chiili Chicken,Chicken Curry or Vegetable Kurma and Enjoy!

You're welcome Aswini! So glad to know that it turned out well for you.Keep 3-4 parotta on top of each other and forcefully compress them between your palms. This will make it soft. Hope this helps! Please do try more recipes from here if time permits.

Couple of tips to get it even fluffier and softer.Add two table spoons of yogurt and half teaspoon baking soda(soda to be added into dry flour before mixing)to make the dough.You can replace water with milk (boiled and cooled to luke warm)to make them even better.
