Virudhunagar Parotta with Whole wheat flour (With Step -Wise pictures)

Virudhunagar Parotta with whole wheat flour (with step -wise pictures) Our home town is famous for Parotta. Virudhunagar Parotta is entirely different from that of other parottas. Its usually fried in oil and it will be smaller in size than that of other parottas.

 My Mother-In -Law is an expert in preparing these parottas. I Learnt this recipe from her. To make this parotta healthier, I used to prepare this with whole wheat flour. Trust me you will get the same taste as that of Maida (All Purpose Flour) Parotta.


The recipe follows..

Procedure:



  • Take a bowl. Add whole wheat flour and salt to it. Mix it well and then add hot water to the flour and start kneading it. The dough should be sticky. Use water accrodingly. Make balls out of the dough and soak it in 1/4 cup of oil just like the picture below

  • Let the dough sit for 1.5 - 2 hours. After that take a ball and expand it with your palms.
