Kothu Parotta is a common and famous recipe found in all street foods stalls and also in big restaurant. To be frank it is a must have menu in all menu cards here. It is one of my favorite one too. The cool thing about this is you can do it in anyway you like. You can add chicken, fish, mutton or anything to make this. It is a super flexible recipe.
This is a recipe that uses leftover paratha and turn it into an awesome recipe. I have a version of egg kothu parota in my blog, check it out here. And also if you want the recipe for parota, you can check it here.
