Veg kothu parotta | கொத்து பரோட்டா in Tamil, a popular Madurai street-style food, recipe with step by step pictures and full video.

Generally, Kothu parotta is made using eggs and non-veg gravy. I have seen many shops in my native town Madurai making Kothu parotta. But always they make with non-veg gravy or egg kothu parotta. So i never had a chance to taste the street style one.. Later i have tasted Veg kothu parotta in many restaurants but never tried on my own at home. I have posted the Chilli parotta recipe in Jeyashris kitchen a few years back. Two years back when i did a live cookery demo in Singapore. I made this recipe and it was a super hit. That time i used Veg salna but in this recipe i used chana kurma.

We can make the kerala malabar parottas at home and use it to make Veg kothu parotta. I used store-bought parottas for making this recipe.

Stay tuned for new posts from New year 2020 from new location. Wishing you all a very Happy new year 2020.
