Porota, a beloved flatbread in Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan, is a flaky and soft delicacy. Made from a dough of all-purpose flour, water, and salt, it is cooked on a griddle or tawa. With its slightly chewy texture, Porota serves as a perfect accompaniment to stews, curries, or chutneys.

The origin of Porota remains uncertain, but it is believed to have emerged in the Indian subcontinent centuries ago. Arab traders are credited with introducing all-purpose flour to the region, and Porota quickly gained popularity. Today, it is enjoyed worldwide.

To prepare Porota, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour with 1 teaspoon of salt in a bowl. Gradually add water until a dough forms, then knead it for 5-10 minutes until smooth. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes, covered with a damp cloth.

Once the dough has rested, divide it into 12 equal portions and roll each piece into a thin circle. Cook the Porota on a griddle or tawa over medium heat, flipping it once, until it turns golden brown and cooks through.

Porota can be savored plain or with a variety of fillings. Popular options include vegetable stew, chicken curry, fish curry, sambar, or chutney. It can also serve as a versatile wrap or pizza base by adding desired ingredients and enjoying the delectable fusion it creates.
