About Porotta
Porotta, also known as parotta, is a flaky, layered flatbread originating from South Indian cuisine, particularly Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Made primarily from refined wheat flour (maida), water, salt, and oil, the dough is stretched, folded, and cooked on a griddle to achieve its signature soft yet crispy texture. While porotta is beloved for its rich taste and versatility, often paired with spicy curries or stews, its nutritional profile isn’t ideal for frequent consumption. The use of refined flour means it’s low in fiber and can spike blood sugar levels. Moreover, the oil content makes it high in calories and saturated fats. While porotta offers energy and pairs well with nutrient-rich dishes, moderation is key to enjoying this comfort food without compromising health. Whole-grain alternatives or pairing it with vegetable-rich sides can make it a more balanced option.
