Kothu Parotta/Paratha
Posted By Vardhini On September 20, 2013 @ 6:00 pm In Gallery,Indian,Main Dish | 5 Comments
This dish has been on my list forever and is a famous street food in India. You could use frozen parottas to simplify the process greatly. For Kothu Parotta, you chop the parottas into small pieces and add them to a mixture of vegetables and spices. Normally meat or egg is added, but I have used only vegetables. It takes the tasty parottas to a whole new level. Leftover parottas can be used, but I made paratha just for this dish. Off to the recipe.
