Kothu parotta / Muttai kothu parotta / Minced parotta with egg

Kothu parotta is one of the popular street foods of Tamilnadu.We can see loads of thattu kadais here in Tamilnadu offering different types of delicious food items. Kothu parotta is the combo of minced flaky bread (parotta )with egg or meat mixed with the gravy of salna .(mutton salna or chicken salna)


I love thattukadai items (road side shops)but my hubby doesnt like to buy anything from there by saying  some hygienic issues.But once while travelling in chennai we saw a neat place and had kothu parottai from there.Wow..yummy..I saw there,  they are preparing it in iron skillet and quickly chopping parottas and onion with a rhythm.Mixing and sauteing was so fast and finally he garnished it with some chopped onion.

Tamilnadu parotta is thicker than Kerala parotta .If you are using thicker one chop it in to small pieces.When my hubby went to Kerala he bought a parcel from there so on that day morning I have prepared kothu parotta with egg.I did not use garvy in this preparation and used only egg.But if you are vegetarian you can choose veg kothu parotta recipe in which add veg salna or korma gravy together with chopped veggies.Even without gravy you can prepare it ..
