Spice Level: Medium

Banana Leaf Served

Kizhi Porotta is a uniquely Kerala invention: freshly made layered porotta (flaky flatbread) is shredded and combined with a flavourful meat or vegetable masala, then wrapped tightly in a banana leaf and steamed. The steaming process allows the curry to permeate every layer of the porotta, creating a unified, intensely flavourful dish with a wonderful aroma from the banana leaf itself.

At Kerala Palace Restaurant in NE Calgary, our Kizhi Porotta is available with a choice of Chicken, Beef, or Egg masala fillings. Each parcel is freshly assembled and steamed to order, making it an interactive and satisfying meal. Whether you are discovering Kerala cuisine for the first time or craving a taste of home, Kizhi Porotta is an unmissable experience.
