Strained tea and Kerala Parotha (A chewy, buttery and flakey layered Indian flatbread) is available across Asia and is very popular, with good reason too – It’s cheap, quick to make and of course absolutely delicious.
Kerala Paratha - Indian flat bread with curry sauce
Straining tea in Singapore
A recipe for making your own kerala paratha can be found on this website: www.foodess.com
It is ideal with a mild curry dipping sauce for a quick and tasty snack, I’ve eaten it in Singapore and Malaysia (where it can be sometimes found under the name capati).
Strained tea makes a good companion to kerala parotha and is made by pouring the tea mixture in and out of cups, it is usually served sweet and milky and slightly thicker in consistentcy than a regular cup of tea.
The pictures from this article come from my tour in Singapore and the both strained tea and capati pictured can be bought down the walkway opposite the Sultan Mosque.

That’s similar to Rotti Bread isn’t it? I love that stuff! So cheap and fills you up! :)
It has a completely different taste and texture to rotti bread, there is more thought in how it’s made from what I can tell, to give it the flakey layers and it’s more moist then rotti bread.
