Malabar Paratha, also known as Kerala Parotta, is a soft, flaky, and layered flatbread that’s a staple in South Indian cuisine. Made with all-purpose flour (maida), this bread is renowned for its rich texture and distinctive preparation method, which yields multiple thin, crisp layers. It is usually cooked on a hot griddle with a bit of oil, giving it a golden finish. Best enjoyed with spicy curries or stews, it’s a favourite at street stalls and home kitchens alike.

Description - Step 1

Make The Dough

In a large bowl, mix the maida, salt and sugar. Add warm water little by little, mixing with your hands or a spoon until the dough starts to come together. Knead the dough thoroughly for 8-10 minutes, until it becomes soft, smooth, and elastic. The dough should be quite soft but not sticky. Coat the dough with 1 tablespoon of oil to prevent drying, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rest for 30 minutes to allow the gluten to develop.
