kothu chapathi recipe /with left over chapathi without eggs
Left over food is the usual happening once in a while in every day cooking. We cooks will always want to make an excellent alternative of whatever left over food that is left behind. The make over is mostly from rice or chapathi for Indians which is our daily staple. Many of you will have had Kothu parrota mostly in hotels and me too have a special liking for it.The very same way these kothu chapati recipe is also made.
It’s a very comfortable and satisfying snacks for the kids.In hotels usually for kothu parotta they add a special gravy which is the real taste enhancer for the dish. Instead of adding gravy I usually dry roast and powder some special ingredients.This makes my kothu chapathi recipe more flavourful and delicious than any other hotel recipe. If at all you grind these powder in excess you can always use it in other gravies.You can always use an iron dosa pan while making these kothu chapathi recipe the exact way they make in hotels. Always add masala powder in moderation otherwise it will be over powdering. Add lemon juice if you want little tartness otherwise its optional.
