Did you know ?? Kerala has its own unique style of making parathas, they can be had without any accompaniment. It is the best form of food for one to carry while travelling ,the shelf life is about 48 hours and it is tasty even when served cold. But a whole lot more tastier when served hot with a crispy golden crust layer.
