A Parotta, is a commonly eaten bread in South India. This is not to be confused with the North Indian Paratha. Parottas are available in hotels and road side shops across Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka. It is also served in marriage and religious festival and feasts. Since the ingredients include a large amount of oil/ghee and eggs, it is high in cholesterol content.
Usually, Parottas are relished with chicken, mutton or beef saalna, a spicy sauce. Other variants of the common parottas are Kerala porotta, Chilli Parotta, Coin parotta, Veechu parotta and Kothu parotta.
