Kerala Parotta & Mixed Vegetable Curry

Blogging Marathon# 35: Day 2/ Week 2
Theme: Regional Dishes – Course Specific
Dish: Dinner — Kerala Parotta & Mixed Vegetable Curry

For Day 2 of BM# 35, I decided to explore the dinner recipes of Kerala. I have seen Kerala Parotta on a number of blogs and wanted to give them a try. I never ate a properly made Kerala Parotta, I might have eaten a frozen version of it, even that I’m not very sure.

After looking through the recipe the techniquee of making it is similar to lachcha paratha. Only difference being Kerala Parotta is made with all-purpose flour or maida whereas lachcha paratha is made with atta or whole wheat flour. Also parotta has significant amount of oil used.

I used Dassana’s Parotta recipe. She used a combination of atta and all-purpose flour and the use of oil was to a minimum. The resultant parottas were soft and flaky. Both my kids loved them a lot too.

Serve hot with your favorite gravy curry. I served with a mixed vegetable curry and my mom’s tomato pachadi.

Vegetarian Kerala Curry

To go with the Parottas, I made this Kerala mixed vegetable curry. I’m not sure how authentic this curry is because it is a variation to Nag’s Kerala Style Green Peas Curry. I added a few more veggies to make this a more substantial curry.

Curry uses simple coriander-red chili masala powder and coconut milk to thicken it. I used coconut cream instead of coconut milk.

This curry goes very well with rotis/ parathas or even pulaos.

    Both the parotta and mixed vegetable curry are mouthwatering. I can smell the parottas cooking on a hot griddle with some ghee! That would be hearty breakfast too.
