Malabar Parotta
Kerala's flaky layered parotta, beaten, coiled and slap-griddled. Rolled, rested and flame-kissed — the real thing. Pile in a basket lined with cloth and let everyone grab.
Ingredients
- Butter3 tbsp
- Saltto taste
- Ghee3 tbsp
- Milk1 litre
- All-Purpose Flour2 cups
Instructions
- 1
Bring the dough together with lukewarm water, then knead hard — soft dough makes soft bread, no shortcuts.
- 2
Rest the dough, covered with a damp cloth, for at least 30 minutes — gluten relaxes, rolling gets easier.
- 3
Divide into equal balls, then roll — plain, or stuffed and sealed like little parcels before rolling gently.
- 4
Cook the first side dry, the second side with ghee, and finish directly on the flame for the puff.
- 5
Slather with ghee, wrap in a clean cloth, and carry to the table warm.
Chef's tip
A final squeeze of lemon or lime right before serving wakes up every other flavour.
