About Kerala porota

Kerala Porota, often called Malabar Parotta, is a flaky, layered flatbread originating from the Malabar region of Kerala, India. Made primarily from refined wheat flour (maida), water, and oil, the dough is skillfully folded and layered to achieve its unique texture. This soft, crispy bread is traditionally prepared by grilling on a hot skillet and is best served alongside curries or stews. While its irresistible taste and layered flakiness make it a favorite in South Indian cuisine, Kerala Porota is relatively high in carbohydrates and fats due to its use of refined flour and oil. It lacks significant fiber or nutrients found in whole grains, making it more of a comfort food than a health-conscious choice. Moderation is key when enjoying this indulgent treat, and pairing it with nutrient-rich dishes can help balance the meal.
