Chicken Kothu Parotta/Chicken Minced Parotta is a popular delicacy from South India. These are very popularly found in small roadside shops. I have made a twist in this recipe. Now you can prepare Kothu Parotta using chapati which is a simpler method and enjoy this delicious dish at home.
Kothu parotta (minced parotta) is made using parotta, egg, meat, and chicken gravy. Other variants of kothu parotta are Muttai kothu parotta, chili parotta. Of course, we do have veg kothu parotta too.The ingredients are thrown on a hot cast-iron griddle lubricated with oil. These are minced and mixed by repeated pounding using a heavy iron spatula, It is served with onion raita or any Chicken Gravy.
Yesterday I was craving for this and I did not have time to prepare parotta too. To make parotta we have to mix all-purpose flour/maida and water to make a dough and should rest it for at least 5-6 hours followed by kneading, folding and flattening to get the flaky parotta. Instead, I mixed one cup all-purpose flour with 1/2 cup warm milk with a tsp of salt. Then made it rest for half an hour and prepared normal chapati. I used the chapati to make this dish. Soon will post how to prepare the actual flaky parotta. To prepare Chicken Gravy, follow this Link. Now let’s see how to prepare this kothu parotta.
