Talk:Kerala porotta

Malabari or Malwari Paratha

Kerala Porotta is called as Malwari paratha in Gulf region and Pakistan.

Improper name

"It is named after the south Indian state of Kerala, where it is a common item on the menus of all restaurants." What a piece of idiocy! If it is named after Kerala it should be Kerala or Keralotta and not poratta. There is serious deficiency about the language. However, I abhor the whole thing and won't touch it.

Dung not bread

Who said it was bread? Something fried on a frying plate is bread? Kuntan 15:08, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

• Porotta is a sort of bread. And it doesn't taste like dung - did you not make it correctly or what? Also, "normal" bread is often used as a replacement for porotta, especially with beef curry. Cam.turn (talk) 09:19, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Need clarification

What is the "fat" used to make Kerala porotta? Is it oil of some sort? Antorjal 11:09, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

• Usually coconut oil, I believe. However, I'm not sure that you can get it in other countries, so use any sort of fatty substance there. Also, shouldn't this page have a short description on how to make porotta? Or make a page on Wikibooks Cookbook and link to that? Cam.turn (talk) 09:17, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Expansion of article

We need to include a link to a recipe, we need to state that "normal" bread (however, bread over here is very milky and sugary) is often used as a replacement for porotta, and we need to state that it isn't often made at home, due to the large space required, although you can get it at almost every "hotel" (eating place) in Kerala in the evening. Porotta is generally not eaten as a lunch item (as people prefer "meals", or unlimited rice with vegetable curries), although it is often eaten at breakfast time, along with egg curry, "kadala" curry, beef curry or chicken curry. (That's right, they eat beef and chicken for breakfast over here!) I think that's all. Cam.turn (talk) 09:37, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Merge proposal

Discussion

Merge Kerala porotta and Malabari paratha - They sound very similar. Based on the descriptions in the two articles, I support merger, as it appears that the variations can be properly addressed in one article. However, if they are distinguishable, each article should be expanded to explain the differences.Geoff (talk) 20:18, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Then what about Naan? BillyTFried (talk) 21:42, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

• Support per nom - they are two variants of the same name. Also, a naan does not contain eggs and is not layered. Regards, SBC-YPR (talk) 18:09, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
• Support Both articles seem to deal with the same food. There could be variations across different regions within Kerala which could easily be incorporated in one article. --L I C 16:09, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
  • Well, the porotta article claims to be different from paratha, so I'm not convinced that the articles really refer to the same thing. Jafeluv (talk) 22:27, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
