Malabar Parathas
As promised in the Mutton Pepper Fry recipe on our blog below, here’s a recipe for a logical and delicious accompaniment: Malabar parathas! This is bread made in the style of the Malabar region of India (northern Kerala, a state in South India).
Ingredients:
- All purpose flour: 1/2lb
- Milk: 1/4 cup
- Sugar: 1/2tsp
- Oil : about a 1/4 cup
- Salt: pinch
Method:
- Mix the flour with sugar and salt
- Add the milk in slowlyKnead till you get a dough, like you would for pizza
- Cover the dough with cheesecloth and let it stand about 15 minutes
- Knead the dough again – it should feel softer
- Slice the dough into 8 parts
- Roll those up into individual balls, and cover again with cheesecloth, this time for about 5 minutes
- Flatten these with your hands, or a spatula, until they are thin
- Then roll these into little spirals
- Heat the oil in a deep frying pan, and add the spirals
- Once they fry to a golden brown, lay them on a paper towel to drain the excess oil
Enjoy with Mutton Pepper fry, or just about anything else you’d like!
