Kerala Barotta

 From childhood I have relished this dish in hotels. Later when I moved out of Kerala, I learned to make it at home.

                                                    Barotta with egg curry and banana raita

Ingredients

2 cups refined flour

Salt to taste

2 tbsps oil

About ¾ cup water

Instruction

-          Knead the refined flour with salt, 1 tablespoon oil and water. Keep adding the water slowly to make smooth dough. Cover and keep aside for 10 minutes.

-          - Divide the dough into two portions. Spread one into a big rectangle. Smear oil on the whole top surface and along the longer side, fold it like making sari pleats.  Coil this rope like dough into a round and spread with a rolling pin into a large round. See this tchnique below:

-          Heat thava on medium flame and cook the barotta from both sides, applying oil on both surfaces.

-          Serve hot with egg curry.
