Method
- Cut the parottas into bite sized pieces using a knife / scissors. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a cast iron pan on medium high flame and once hot, add the chopped onion. Saute till the onions are pink and transparent.
- Add chopped ginger, garlic and green chillies, saute for few seconds.
- Add the chopped bellpeppers and daute for a min.
- Add the spice powders, saute for few secs till the raw smell goes off.
- Add the sauces and salt to taste.
- Add shredded parotta, saute on high for few secs mixing everything.
- If you would like it a bit crispier, reduce the flame and cook this for couple of more mins.
- If you like eggs, you can beat 2 eggs, scramble it in a separate pan and add it at this stage and mix well. You can also add beaten eggs directly into this pan by making a well in the middle but it changes the texture of kottu parotta a bit, so i prefer to do it in a separate pan.
- Garnish with spring onion and serve.
