Egg Kothu Parotta Recipe

Pin It

If I can say the one thing that I can compromise on road side shops, it is with no doubt my favourite kothu parotta. I just love the taste in road side shops and it can noway be compared with the taste we get in restaurants. I tried to recreate the taste and it was close to it except for the addition of chalna they use.

Egg Kothu Parotta Recipe - Ingredients
Serves 1

• Parotta - 2
• Egg - 1
• Onion - 1 chopped finely
• Tomato - 1 chopped finely
• Turmeric powder - a pinch
• Red chilli powder - 1 tsp
• Pepper powder - 1/2 tsp
• Ginger garlic paste - 1 tsp
• Coriander leaves - 1 tsp chopped finely

To temper:

• Sombu(Fennel seeds) - 1/2 tsp (optional)
• Curry leaves - few
• Green chilli - 1 chopped finely

Method:

1. Chop the parottas into small pieces. Keep aside.
2. Heat oil, first temper fennel seeds then add add curry leaves, green chillies let it splutter. Then add ginger garlic paste, allow it to brown slightly.
3. Now add onions, once it turns golden brown, add tomatoes when it turns mushy add turmeric, chilli and pepper powder. Add required salt and mix well.
4. Then add the eggs mix it to scramble well, once it turns nicely fried and blended with the masalas add the chopped parato and give a stir so that parotta is blended well with the egg and masalas. Garnish with coriander leaves and switch off.

My Notes:

• You can skip eggs and add any veggie of your choice.
• Usually in road side shops for 1 plate of kothu parotta they use 2 shredded parotas and 2 eggs with the above said ingredients with chalna added at the end which gives a mushy and soft texture.
• Also for the road style kothu parotta they add chalna(the kurma that comes with normal parottas) which gives a very nice taste.
• Squeeze lemon juice while serving if you like the flavour.

I prefer kothu parotta to normal parotta any day and the taste in restaurants can stand no where near the kothu parotta style the road side shops makes. I am yet to make my own parottas , to me it seems to be always a tiresome task but sure to post it soon.
