Kothu parota

Kothu parota is a south Indian especially Tamilnadu’s and Srilankan street food. Kothu means chopped in Tamil and parota is parota.

It is a chopped parota/roti mixed with vegetables and egg to make a delicious filling dish.

Though it is street food, it’s little heavier than normal snack. It can be a meal. Normally I do with left over rotis as it’s quick and easy and don’t have to make separate curry J

Ingredients

• Rotis-2-3
• Eggs-2
• Onions-1 chopped
• Tomato-1 chopped
• Oil-1 tbs
• Mustard seeds-1tsp
• Cumin seeds-1 tsp
• Garam masala-1tsp
• Cumin powder-1tsp

• Curry leaves-some
• Chopped cilantro for garnish
• Salt to taste
• Red chili powder to taste

Method:

• Break the rotis/parathas in to small pieces and keep aside.
• Heat the oil in a pan. When heated add mustard and cumin seeds and curry leaves.
• When mustard seeds sputter, add onions and cook them till they r translucent.
• Add tomato pieces and mix well once they are cooked, add salt and all the spices and mix well.
• Now add the chopped rotis and mix well. Cook for 1-2 min.
• Now add two eggs and mix well cook till the eggs are cooked and garnish with cilantro.

There are so many variations to this dish. You can add more vegetables like carrot, cabbage etc. I once saw in video using curry gravy instead of all the spices. Also you can add some cooked dal to make it more nutritious. Personalize according to your taste and enjoy.
