I just love malabar parotta(i think because of my roots :-p ). What I love about it most is the flakiness. I remember going to Kerala during summer vacations and was introduced to this parotta there. Nowadays we do get ready to eat parottas in super markets but they are never tasty... I hate that stuff.So I thought of making the parotta at home. Though you should make this with plain flour, me being healthy food lover, switched to 50% plain flour and 50% wheat flour. The final product resembled more or less like Lachcha Paratha that you find in North India.
