❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is Kerala Porotta and why is it specialized?
Kerala Porotta (also spelled Parotta) is a layered flatbread from Kerala, South India — made from refined flour (maida), rolled into thin sheets, folded multiple times, and cooked on a hot griddle to achieve the signature flaky, multi-layered texture. It requires significant skill and practice to produce consistently — making an experienced Porotta Maker a valuable and sought-after kitchen professional.
What is Karak Tea?
Karak Tea (Chai Karak) is the Gulf region’s most beloved tea — a strong, spiced milk tea made with black tea leaves, evaporated milk, sugar, cardamom, and sometimes saffron or other spices. It is hugely popular across Saudi Arabia and the UAE and is a core product of any South Indian or Gulf-style tea café.
Is there flexibility to apply for just one of the two roles?
The employer has listed both Tea Maker and Porotta Maker together — candidates should mention clearly which specialty (or both) they can cover when applying. Candidates skilled in both will be strongly preferred.
How do I apply?
Send your CV to shahid@esnad.com.sa. Mention “Tea Maker / Porotta Maker – Jeddah” in the email subject line. Clearly state your specific specializations — tea, porotta, or both.
