Malabar Parotha, a staple of South Indian cuisine specifically from Kerala, is a layered, flaky flatbread made from refined wheat flour, water, and oil. Typically crafted through a labor-intensive process of kneading, rolling, folding, and frying, its characteristic soft yet crispy texture is achieved by layering dough during preparation. While it's rich in flavor and satisfying in texture, Malabar Parotha is high in carbohydrates and calories, often due to the use of refined flour and oil. It lacks significant fiber and protein but provides energy, making it a popular choice for pairing with flavorful curries or stews. To boost its nutritional profile, consider enjoying it alongside protein-rich dishes and vegetables or opting for healthier flour alternatives. Though indulgent, the Malabar Parotha remains a beloved treat in South Indian households and a cultural icon in regional dining experiences.
