Plain parotta

2 nos

Onions

1 no

Tomatoes

1 no

Green chilli (long)

¼ tsp

Ginger garlic paste

1 tsp

Cumin seeds

3 nos

Eggs

¼ tsp

Turmeric powder

½ tsp

Red chilli powder

15 nos

Coriander leaves - for garnishing

½ tsp

Salt (or to taste)

5 tsp

Instructions


To start with, follow the link below and try making plain parottas.

http://www.spiceindiaonline.com/parotta

If that's a problem, just drop in at any Indian store and buy Kerala type flaky parottas from the frozen section. Shred them using a food processor and run on pulse setting for few seconds. Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and keep them aside.  Heat oil in a kadai and season with cumin seeds and curry leaves. Fry the chopped onions and green chillies until golden. Add the ginger garlic paste and fry until the raw smell goes away, followed by the chopped tomatoes along with turmeric, chilli powder and salt. Fry them for couple of minutes and then add the shredded parotta crepes and toss to coat the masala. Now turn the flame to high setting and pour the beaten eggs and cook until everything is well mixed. Initially it might look little sticky, as the eggs are cooked it will turn into crumbly little crepes coated partially with eggs and masala. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot.

Hai Mullai,this is akila from calfornia.I was tempted by your receipes .We are pure veg so can we make the same kottu parotta without usung the egg or let me know that it is good with the egg.I really love to try all of your receipes and would like to post some receipes .But only thing is i don't have any pictures to show on my receipes .Have a Good Day .

Akila, you can make it

Akila, you can make it without eggs, add little fennel seeds for extra flavour or even garam masala powder. Those are not really substitutes for eggs but atleast you won't feel blunt tasting parottas. Thanks for your feedback.

Hi Mullai,
I accidentally came across your site and found the recipes wonderful. Though I am in India but away from Chennai.. I miss Ceylon egg parotta as they make in Buharis in Chennai which appears basically of maida with egg and minced meat thrown in with onions and tomatoes.. Do you by any chance know how to make it? If so please let me know.. I want to cook it for my kids and husband.

But my doubt is shall we fry the barota's before adding it in to the mixture????

Anandhi, If using store

Anandhi,

If using store bought frozen, slightly toast in the tawa or microwave covered with a paper towel for 10 seconds. It has to be in room temperature to proceed with the recipe. Hope htis helps.

Hi Mullai I am a regular

Hi Mullai

I am a regular reader of your website , though i have not made any postings or comments, But honestly all the recipes are very good and very well presented. I haev tried this Chilli Kothu Parotta several times for dinner and it always turns to be awesome. You can add some cooked white channa along with this while tossing ( You can add about 1/2 can of cooked Garbanzo beans) and capsicum while frying along with onions, it tastes so well. Simple curd onion Raidha goes well with it.

- Thanks and keep up the good work.

We eat the other way. Eat bread in the morning and kottu roti or chappathi at nights. Btw, I just followed how you have given here; The taste was awesome. I made for our friend's b-day. We ate and could not move at all. Just slept in the hall that day. Forgot to write it. Thank you mam.

mullai,don't u need to add

mullai,don't u need to add the common masala items like elachi,cinnamon,cloves and cardamom for flavour? don't u need ginger,garlic too?

Again someone did not read

Again someone did not read anything properly. Ginger and garlic paste is used here. Elachi used for sweets & curries. Cinnamon, cloves and cardamom are used for curries and garvies. Still you can add if you like. But, mostly they are not added for egg kottu parotha.

Waaa... Mullai!!!!!  You

Waaa... Mullai!!!!!  You made it finally...Thats our mam...I saw many requests for chilli paratha so this weekend I wanted to make it(we srilankan call it as kotthu roti) & post the recipe with pictures. Anyways, Guess this is gonna be dinner today in our readers hse :))

Btw, We can even make chicken kothu paratha in this way.We should make thick chicken curry & add it before adding roti and stir for 5 mins.This works to all curries. But, they should be very thick gravies. Or just take the chicken from curry and add.

Cheers Manoo

Manoo,  I read all your

Manoo,

 I read all your post and thanks a lot for sharing such wonderful recipes. My post about chilli parotta is just a beginning as so many people have requested for the basic preparation. Here in Tamil Nadu, you get different kinds of kothu parotta.. minced meat, chicken, paneer, Chinese, veg kothu parotta.. the list goes on. I will try to post one by one, meantime you can also post your Sri lankan kothu roti recipes. Do you by any chance prepare roti canai? If so pls share that recipe too.

I nvr make paratha as we

I nvr make paratha as we got a cook who can make it well. I only sit & eat it. We made kottu for our potluck in uni last week. I took a pic too. Need to write how we made it with very few ingredients. Iam running out of time as in a sem we need to design two things. We also have to machine them. Thats sad...

Its really difficult to get all those stuff you mentioned. So I only try with what I got in my room. However, it turns out well. Guess, It would be really awesome if I use all ingredients. Will give a try in summer vacation. I need much time to try paratha. But will try & surprise my family & friends.

Cheers

Manoo
