Rottu Kadai Kothu Parotta / Street Food Style Scrambled Parotta

Bought a big  flat iron Griddle/ Tawa  in the Souq( local market) and  my mind just shouted make kothu parotta - Street Food Style. Then Voila!! Here is the end result. A special Thanks to my hubby who helped in taking detailed photos and some intricate details too. Kothu Parotta is an all time favorite in our house, referred to so many recipes and watched many videos too, but was not fully satisfied with the results,the taste would be similar to what they make in restaurants, but the texture would not be the same.

Have seen in the video that they scramble the parotta on the griddle/ Tawa with two stainless steel tumblers, which gives the exact texture. No matter how you prepare in pan or wok the result wouldn't be the same. 

Am no more boring you! going straight for the recipe the famous- Rottu Kadai Kothu Parotta

You Need:

 The thumb rule is 1 egg per parotta

For the optimal result prepare batch by batch about 2 parotta per batch.

To it add curry leaves and green chilli, fry for a minute,

Now add chilli powder and turmeric powder and salt.Fry for 30 seconds.

Add the tomatoes and fry till they form a masala.

Tear the Parotta into pieces and add to the masala,( now comes the fun part)  take two stainless steel tumblers and start to tear the parottas on the tawa and incorporate the masala along, you will start to hear the famous cling sound that comes we hear in restaurants,add the gravy, and mix it with the tumblers.

Now create a well in the center add 1 tbsp oil and  break egg and immediately mix the parotta with the egg using the tumblers( you have to be real quick).

The eggs would have mixed with the parotta and cooked too.Mix it well the parotta now would be completely scrambled.

Remove them from Tawa, Garnish with coriander leaves and serve them hot with lemon wedges.

Note:

You can use your regular tawa but it will wobbly as it is quite thin and not be comfortable to work with.

Use a thick flat tawa for best resuts.

If you want to make them in your pan or wok Follow the same except tear the parotta into even more fine pieces.
