Producer: Mehak Pal Editor: Nisha Dubey

Malabari Parotta or 'Barota' is flaky yet fluffy, crisp yet soft. This thin paratha is served with South Indian gravy dishes with oodles of ghee. Here's a step-by-step guide to making a Malabar Parotta recipe at home.

Ingredients Maida - 2 cups Water - To knead Ghee - 1/2 cup Dry flour - For dusting

Step 1 Knead the flour into soft and pliable dough with the water. 

Step 2 Cover and let rest for 30 minutes. Make 8 round and smooth balls. Roll into a round of about 1/4 cm/1/8" thickness.

 Step 3 Smear the surface of this round, with ghee. Fold in 1/2, smear the surface with ghee again, and make another fold from corner to corner.

Step 4 Roll thinly without tearing. Heat the griddle (tava), and place one paratha on to it.

Step 5 When the edges start lifting, slightly, smear some ghee over it letting it trickle under it. When it turns brown on both sides, serve hot.
