Kothu Parotta / Tamil Nadu Style Kothu Parotta

Kothu Parotta is a popular South Indian recipe particulary in Tamil Nadu. This is a nothing but a minced parotta/layered flat breads sauted with onions, tomato, spices, eggs and with Veg or Non Veg Curry/Chalna. This is one of my favorite recipe which i really miss here. But am happy that i recreated it at home and the taste was so good and almost same to that of hotel kothu parotta. This is so flavorful, delicious and filling recipe. Addition of Veg chalna or chicken curry gives more taste and i love it so much. Here I used Veg chalna and it tasted so good with onion raita. Very simple & easy to make recipe. Give it a try definitely you will love it. I will share kothu parotta with chicken chalna in my future post.

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.
