Five cows died on a farm in Kerala after allegedly eating too much parotta. According to Onmanorama’s report, nine more cows are currently being treated.

Parotta or porotta is a flaky bread made from maida. Popular in many South Indian states, including Kerala, the puff pastry is made by pan-frying.

The cows that suffered from Parotta’s overconsumption belonged to a dairy farmer named Hasbulla, who has been raising cows for the past 20 years. Animal husbandry minister J Chinchurani visited his farm on Sunday and said the dairy farmer would be compensated.

Cows started falling on Saturday, after which rescue team officials visited the farm. According to the Department of Animal Welfare, the cause of death was considered to be stomach upset caused by excessive consumption of reindeer and jackfruit.
