Chilli Parotta

I had 2 readers asking for chilli parotta recipe but frankly speaking I have never tried it at home at all. I have chilli parotta and kaima parotta in hotels few time, So searched for few recipes and this hotel style chilli parotta recipe pulled me so bookmarked the recipe long back. I had few leftover readymade parottas so finally tried it last week.I love egg  kothu parotta so much and this chilli parotta has added onto my favorite list now 🙂

Chilli Parotta Recipe

Chilli Parotta Recipe – Ingredients

Preparation Time : 10 mins | Cooking Time : 20 mins | Serves : 2
Recipe Category: Main | Recipe Cuisine: South Indian| Recipe Reference: Cookery Corner

Parottas – 4 small sized
Onion – 1
Green Capsicum – 1 small sized
Tomato sauce – 1 tbsp
Chilli powder – 3/4 tsp
Coriander leaves – 1/2 tbsp chopped
Oil – 1.5 tbsp + 2 tsp
Salt – to taste

To saute and grind to a paste:

Big Onion – 1 small sized chopped roughly
Tomato – 1 small sized chopped roughly
Poppy seeds – 1 tsp
Cashews – 3
Ginger – 1/2 inch piece
Garlic – 4 cloves
Coriander powder – 3/4 tsp
Garam masala powder – 1/2 tsp

Method:

  1. Chop the parottas with a kitchen scissor into small squares.Toast them in a dosa tawa for 3-5mins, set aside(Actually the parottas need to be deep fried but the parotta is already fattening…so I opted to toast them).Heat 2tsp oil in a pan – add onion, garlic and saute till slightly browned then add tomatoes and saute till raw smell leaves and is mushy.Add the spice powders except red chilli powder and give a quick stir.

My Notes:

  • If you want you can skip coriander leaves and add spring onions instead. You can add chopped spring onions along with onion while sauteing and then use few for garnishing too.
  • Make sure the masala paste should be less else the parotta will become very soggy.
  • You can a pinch of pepper powder.While serving add a tsp of lemon juice.
  • Use kashmiri red chilli powder for the bright red color as in restaurants.
  • You can deep fry the parotta pieces too. You can use frozen parottas or readymade half cooked parottas, cook them in dosa tawa then chop them into squares.

  24. This is very similar to how I make it but I never thought of toasting it, great idea. Adding cashews and the poppy seed is new to me. Will have to try this soon.
