Senkottai border parotta is one of the famous dishes in Tamil Nadu. Parotta with salna my favourite and whenever I make parotta at home, i will make the veg salna as a side dish. This border parotta first time am trying and came out well. The speciality of Border Parotta is that the top layer of the parotta looks like border ie, how we keep border for saree so that name called border parotta. This is not like common paraotta recipe, but this is super fluffy in texture and taste delicious. No need to keep for a longer hour to make it and also i will say this is low-calorie parotta because i didn’t use a lot of fat or oil to make it. I didn’t use an egg to make the parotta dough softer but if you like to use then use it.Parotta is fondly called by different names, taste and shape in different places. Veeranur border Parotta in Sencottah, Ambasamudrum Kal Parotta, Virudhunagar Ennai (oil) parotta, Panchu Parotta of Theni, Uttamapalayam Inippu Parotta, Veechu parotta, Sankarankoil Kothu Parotta, Thanjavur Shanthi Dalda Parotta, Patambi Parotta, Natham Ennai Parotta like addresses the name plenty.
