Kothu Parotta just means it’s ‘minced’ or ‘beaten-up’ Parotta…and there are a lot of variations to this wonderful dish that you can just whip up and impress everyone. The first time I had this dish was at a small little road-side shop in Trivandrum (aka Thiruvananthapuram), though origianally from Tamil Nadu! Enjoy this wonderful dish from my past:) Perfect for breakfast, brunch or just a snack.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes

Parotta – 3, chop or break into small pieces (available in Indian grocery stores in the freezer section)
Oil – 1 Tbsp
Mustard Seeds – 1/4 tsp
Curry Leaves – few
Green Chilies – to taste, finely chopped
Ginger – 1 tsp, minced
Onions – 1/2 medium, finely chopped
Tomatoes – 1, medium, finely chopped
Chaat Masala – 1/4 tsp
Garam Masala – 1/4 tsp
Red Chili Powder – to taste
Salt – to taste
Cilantro – garnish
Eggs – 2
Method:
1. Heat Oil in a medium pan on medium heat.
2. Add Mustard Seeds and let them pop.
3. Add Curry Leaves and Onions and cook until translucent.
4. Add minced Ginger and Green Chilies and cook for 1 minute.
5. Add Tomatoes and cook for few minutes until soft.
6. Add Chaat Masala, Red Chili Powder, Garam Masala and Salt. Mix well.

9. Break the Eggs into the pan and mix continously till the eggs are fully cooked.
10. Garnish with the balance of the Cilantro.
11. Serve hot with Cilantro & Mint Raita.

Hi Hetal and Anuja,
I have a doubt, do we need to toast the parotta before adding it or just put it raw? Pls reply

Hi Amitha,
The parottas are just thawed and added in raw, they cook on the stove. Since they are cut small, they cook fast.

Hi Hetal and Anuja,
I tried out your kottu parotta recipe today using the frozen malaysian variety.I thawed them like you said and chopped them to small pieces but the minute I added it to the pan everything became mushy….it tasted raw even after frying it for a ver long time.I have tasted this dish many times during my college days and I really think it would be wiser to fry the parotta prior to adding it ti the pan.Don’t you think so?May be you ought to mention that in your recipe.

You are absolutely right! Some very obvious things we miss mentioning because we just think they are too obvious.
Thanks for the feedback, will keep a check on ourselves.

Hi Hetal & Anuja
Coming from Tamil Nadu, i wanted to try this recipe at the very instant i saw on ur site.
It turned out to be a perfect lunch, with a small twist to it , adding some pieces of chicken and the gravy from ur Lucky Chicken 13.
It tasted awesome, myself & my husband thoroughly enjoyed our lunch.
Kudos to you both..
