Heat a tawa on medium flame. Place the parota and warm each side for 1–2 minutes, pressing gently to fluff layers. For extra crispiness, add a little ghee or oil. Tear gently to open layers and serve hot with salna, kurma, kurma, gravy or curd.

Parota is typically made from maida, which is refined wheat flour, mixed with water, salt and a little oil or ghee. The dough is kneaded soft, rested, then stretched, rolled into layers and cooked on a hot tawa to create its signature flaky, crispy and soft texture.

Parota and paratha are similar but not the same. Parota, common in South India, is usually made with maida and has many flaky, stretched layers. Paratha, more common in North India, is usually made with whole wheat flour and can be plain or stuffed with fillings like potato or paneer.

Parota is a delicious flatbread but not the healthiest option for daily consumption because it is usually made from refined flour and cooked with oil or ghee. Enjoying parota occasionally as part of a balanced diet is fine, especially when paired with protein-rich curries and plenty of vegetables.

Parota is commonly described in English as a layered South Indian flatbread. While there is no exact English word for parota, calling it a flaky layered flatbread or Indian bread helps explain its texture and style to those unfamiliar with Indian cuisine, especially outside South India.

Porotta or parota is made from maida and involves stretching and layering the dough to create a flaky, soft inside and crispy outside. Chapati is simpler, made from whole wheat flour without layering, and is usually thinner, lighter and uses less fat, making it a more everyday choice.
