KOTHU PAROTTA

When I think about my college days, first thing that comes to  mind is fun time I spent with friends at the college canteen. Our all time  favorite dish in the menu was Kothu poratta.   A simple yet delicious dish that can be shared with friends.
 




Ingredients :

Parotta : 2
Onion :  1, Chopped
Tomato : 1, Chopped
Ginger : 1/2tsp, Chopped
Garlic : 1/2 tsp,
Green Chilli : 1, Chopped
Egg : 2
Turmeric Powder : 1/2tsp
Chilli Powder : 1/2tsp
Coriander Leaves : 1/2Cup, Chopped
Fennel Powder : 1/2tsp
Garam Masala : 1/2tsp
Oil
Salt

Method : 

1.Shred the parottas into very fine pieces and keep aside.

2. Heat oil in a kadai and saute Onion till it becomes translucent. Then add ginger, garlic and green chilli to the kadhai and saute well.

3. Now add the Tomato and close the kadhai with a tight lid. after 3-4 min add chilli powder, turmeric powder, fennel powder, garam masala and saute well till it becomes a golden brown masala.

4. Add the eggs and mix it with the masala. When egg is 90% done add the parottas and combine well.Add salt if needed.

5. Finally add coriander leaves and combine well. Cover with the lid and keep for 2minutes in low flame .

6. Serve hot n enjoy :) 

Note : a) this is the best way to use left over parottas b) If you have left over chicken gravy, substitute that with the masalas (third step).
