Chilli Parota / Koththu Parota

Ingredients

* Parota (Either home page or buy frozen ones from Indian shops)
* 3 eggs (Optional)
* 1 large onion
* 1 tomato
* 3 green chilies
* 1 teaspoon red chili powder
* 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
* 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
* Garam masala as needed
* 2 tablespoons coriander
* 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

• Cook the flaky bread / frozen paratha on a flat griddle and cool it.
  
• Cut the paratha into small pieces. Use your hand and tear into small pieces like how we tear paper.
• Finely chop the onions, green chillies and tomato.
• Break the eggs and add little salt, beat it well (Optional)
• Heat oil in a wok over medium flame
• Add the chopped onions,green chillies
• Fry till onion turns slight brown in color and then add tomato and fry for a minute.
• Now mix in the beaten egg mixture and scramble it. Once it is scrambled add all the dry powders mentioned above. Add salt as needed and mix well.
• Add the shredded paratas, if required add a tsp of oil.
  
• Either turn cook them the normal way for few mins on the vessel (OR) optionally if you want to be a little ambitious, you may wish to use 2 laddle's (like the ones used to cook dosa with) and attack the parathas in such an action that you want to chop them into pieces. Please be careful not to ruin the vessel you are cooking in :-)
  

Garnish the kothu parata with chopped coriander and serve it hot.

You can also serve koththu paratha with onion raitha OR traditional south indian style kurma, which I will blog in coming days.
