    Nool Parotta Recipe

    I want you to make this Paratha for a very long time. I have seen many videos and Instagram reels for this Paratha recipe which inspired me to create my own version. Made this recipe couple days back and it turned out near to perfect. 

    About Nool Parotta Recipe

    Nool Paratha Recipe is made like regular paratha dough except it has the technique for creating the flaky thread like layers. It is popular recipe in and around Kerala. The soft and flaky paratha pairs amazing with chicken Salna, egg Salna or Veg Salna.

    Creating the fine thread like layers is pretty easy. All you need is a pizza cutter. Just swipe them back and forth to create the layers. There are few steps to be followed for this recipe. Which I have mentioned clearly in the recipe.

    Making the Dough

    Now divide the dough into 6 to 8 equal balls. Shape the portions into smooth balls. Cover again and let the dough ball rest for 10 mins.

    Rolling 

    Take one portion of dough on a work surface. Don’t apply oil on the work surface, else you won’t get a grip. Take your rolling pin and roll the dough into a thin sheet like. 

    Creating the Layers

    Now use your pizza cutter to roll over the sheets back and forth to create thin strips. Make sure the threads are as thin as threads. Now use a bench scraper or knife and scrape the cut threads to one long rope like. Roll it on to itself. Apply oil on top and let it rest for 30 mins to 1 hour.  Now take a paratha and flatten it with hands or rolling pin. Make it slightly thin. 

    Cooking & Serving

    Heat a dosa tawa. Place paratha on the hot tawa. Cook for few seconds on one side. Flip over, apply oil over paratha. Flip over and cook on both sides till light golden. Remove and crush the paratha with both hands while it is still hot.  Serve hot with any gravies.

    • Roll the dough into thin sheets. The thinner the sheets are the flakier the paratha.

    • After the paratha is cooked, crust it really well to expose the flakiness which we created.
