Kuthu Parotta
AuthorPriyanka SivaramakrishnanDifficultyBeginnerA popular street food from Tamil Nadu, kuthu parotta is made of minced parotta mixed with onions, tomatoes, chilis. A delightful spicy evening snack.
Tear up the parotta into small pieces and set it aside.
In a pan, heat some oil and saute the onions until they become translucent. Add in the chilis and cook them for about a minute.
Add the tomatoes and saute them until they become soft. Add salt, chili powder, and garam masala. Let it cook for about a minute, till the raw smell of spices goes away.
Crack an egg and mix well. Cook it for half a minute and then add the parotta pieces. Mix for another half a minute before cracking open the next egg.
Once the egg is cooked comes the "kuthu" part. This means mincing the mix. Take a sharp flat spatula, remove the pan from heat and start smashing the mix until the parotta gets cut up into smaller pieces.
Bring the pan back to heat and cook it for another 5 minutes. Garnish with coriander.
