Muttai Kothu Parotta | Egg Kothu Parotta Recipe

Kothu parota is a popular night food in Tamil Nadu. They are commonly found in small roadside hotels. When you visit road side hotels during night time, you can relish this delicious parota. Only they can make the best kothu compared to restaurants. It is a medley between parota, onion, salna and curry leaves. In hotels, it is made in cast iron skillet with a heavy iron ladle to mince(Kothu) the parota. But it's quiet difficult to make in a skillet at home. So I am using a heavy bottom pan to make this. Other kothu types include chicken kothu parota, vegetable kothu parota and mutton kothu parota.
