  5. Layering with egg roast is optional, you can also layer with chicken, mutton or beef curries.

  15. If you prefer you can pour ¼ cup coconut milk on the 3rd parotta, which will make the parotta very soft.
  16. Cover with the 2nd wilted banana leaf & wrap them well.
  17. Close the skillet with a lid.
  18. Place the skillet over medium-low heat.
  19. Steam cook for 10 minutes.
