Notes:
To make it healthy, instead of parottas you can use left over or fresh chapathis/Rotis.
Adding chalna/chicken curry gives the real taste and flavor to the dish. But you can very well skip it.
If you want to make it as a vegan then simply skip eggs and chicken curry and stir the cut chapathi with onion, tomato n spices and serve.
I love Kothu Parotta, especially those made in Madurai Parotta Shops. But I didnt try as it is more laborious. Let me share Egg Bhurji Biryani with you. I am not going to make as my husband does not like scrambled eggs.
ReplyDeleteHeat Oil. Add Cumin, chopped Onions. Fry till golden brown. Add chopped Tomatoes. Pour two eggs. Add Chilli Powder, Cumin Powder and Salt. Prepare like Scrambled Eggs. When done, keep it aside.
Heat Oil. Add Aniseeds, cloves, Pepper Corns, Bay Leaf, Cinnamon and Cardamom, Saffron. Fry and add Chilli Powder and Coriander Powder. Then add rice and water. Cook till done.
Divide Rice into two halves. In a Serving Bowl, add one half of Rice, add scrambled eggs, and then add the remaining rice. Garnish with Coriander and Pudina Leaves.
