How about enjoying a layered and flaky parotta that melt-away in the mouth? Yes, Kerala or Malabar Parotta is a delicacy from God’s Own Country. The scrumptiously tasty parotta can be prepared easily at home with all purpose flour, yoghurt, milk and oil. The secret of the flaky texture of this parotta lies in kneading the dough more time to loose soft texture. It tastes best when served hot with a side of..raitha, vegetarian korma or with any non-vegetarian gravy.
