ABOUT Kothu Parotta RECIPE

This street food is very popular in TamilNadu and Kerala where some shredded parathas are cooked along with eggs, chicken or veggies. It is sold like hot cakes in all the small restaurants and eateries around the city. It is served with some coconut chutney and is really very yummy that such a simple dish can be bursting with so many flavours. Personally tasted it during my stay in Chennai and I can vouch for it. So if you have any leftover parathas, then dish out this amazing snack / breakfast in a perfect homemade style. Country....UAE.
