Kneading plays a crucial role in the texture. Combine all-purpose flour with a pinch of sugar, salt, and ghee or oil to form the dough.

Use a rolling pin to flatten each dough ball into a thin sheet, sprinkling some maida on top. The thinner the sheet, the better.
While making Malabar parotta, fold the oiled dough sheet like a pleat or roll it up into a long strip. Then, coil it into a spiral shape.
Cook the parotta on medium heat and keep flipping it frequently until golden brown and crisp. Add extra oil to make it crispier.

Once it is cooked, gently place the parotta in your hand and clap. This will make your Malabar parotta airier and flakier!
