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.
