    Poricha Parotta Recipe

    Even if I am in the top most tension or totally pissed off with my day, thinking that I am gonna eat parotta with salna and chicken fry tonight makes me so enthusiastic and happy..I don't know how that happens , but it happens. I am not talking about the parotta which you get in the big 5 star hotels and restaurants where they make perfection in each layer, it is the one which you find in roadside small shops where they make it so amazingly quick and homely.

    What is Poricha Parotta Recipe

    Me and my mom often go to buy these parotas from those shops, I always stare at those parota masters(we call the people who make parota as "Masters") and their hands, it like a magic..yes they will keep on talking to my mom at the same time they will be spinning and flattering these parotas with their hands. I can tell you that making parota is a work of art. Not everyone can make parota. But if you have the "WillPower" to make, I can promise you that becoming masters is not that tough.

    Normally parotas are made by just pan frying those layered bread  and crushing it, which I have made and posted here. But poricha parota is one kind which my friend shabi got for me from her place. Her native is tirunelveli and this parota is a famous there and in viridhunagar.

    About Virudhunagar Poricha Parotta Recipe

    It was so crispy on the outside and fluffy and soft in the middle and eating them with that spicy salna is like heaven. I decided that second to give it a try.

    I searched in google about this parota and got an information that this one is not only famous in tirunelveli, it is also famous in thoothukudi/Tuticorin and also from virudhunagar. Now I am on a mission to make it famous world wide. I also tried thattu kadai chicken salna(street food salna) to go with this, which  I will post tomorrow.

    I found it pretty easy to make it at home too, you can get more or less the same result. Have attached a video of mine for making the perfect parota fleets.

    How to Make Viridhunagar Poricha Parotta Recipe at Home

    Parotta Dough

    Take flour, salt and sugar in a mixing bowl and mix well. Add water and make into a soft dough. Apply some oil over the dough and knead well. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 3-4 hours.

    Shaping Parotta (Making parotta fleets)

    Divide into equal portions. Apply oil on the work surface. Take one dough ball and roll into a very thin chapatti. Then take one end and start making fleats out of it.. Now start rolling from one end and make into a round shape.(Refer picture and video). Now apply some oil and let it rest for 5 mins. Now take one roll and spread into a medium size parota.  Finish the entire batch like this.

    Cooking Poricha Parotta

    Heat a tawa and also a kadai of oil for deep frying. Put the parota on the tawa. Cook on both sides for 30 sec. Now take it out and put in hot oil and fry till light golden. Remove and crush it with your hands. Serve with salna or any korma.

      Wow the parathas look great. I make these too but use normal chapati flour. Maybe that's why mine don't look so fluffy. Great idea to include a video in your receipe.

      I actually made this, but didn't deep fry it. I liked it hot off the griddle and I made my own ghee that I brushed on it. It was so wonderful. I will be an expert Indian cook if I keep following your blog. Thank you so much.
