Chili parotta/ Kotthu Parotta




Chili parotta, is  favorite at many restaurants across the Indian subcontinent, especially South India. It is essentially a plain parotta shredded into small, bite-sized pieces mixed with sauteed onions, tomatoes, and chili powder.(source:  wikepedia). It is usually popular amount south of tamil nadu especially madurai. My favorite dish which I used to order in restaurant is Chilli parotta. Once I had chilli Parotta in Trichy some restaurant, that was the best chilli parotta till now which I ever had, am trying to recreate the recipe each time I make this dish but am not able to compete it.
