First I posted Parotta, then came Salna and today obviously it has to be Kothu Parotta right? It’s a great left over recipe. You need both the parotta and salna for this recipe along with other veggies. I tried to prepare it like the Saravana Bhavan Style Kothu Parotta where they add garbanzo beans and bell peppers to this recipe. I love the crunchiness from the veggies and the flavor from salna makes is delicious.
Adding garbanzo beans is completely optional. I love it in this recipe and I went with the canned one. In the street side shops you can find the cook using two sharp laddles and chopping the parotta. As I mentioned I love to watch how they do the veechu, similarly I love to watching chopping action too. I didn’t do that home. I crumbled and made small pieces with hand. :-) Without any further delay, here is the recipe…
Ingredients:
- Left Over Parotta – 2
- Salna – ¼ cup
- Garbanzo Beans – ¼ cup
- Garam Masala – ¼ tsp
- Colored Bell Peppers – ½ cup
- Finely Chopped Onion – ¼ cup
- Tomato – 1
- Salt – ½ tsp
- Red Chilly Powder – ½ tsp
- Oil – 2 tsps
- Fennel Seeds / Saunf – 1 tsp
- Cilantro for garnish.
Steps:
- Crumble/chop the parotta into small pieces.
- Also chop all the veggies and keep it ready.
- Heat the kadai and add oil.
- Once the oil is hot add the fennel seeds and let it roast for 30 secs.
- Then add the onions and sauté till they turn translucent.
- Then add the tomatoes, bell peppers salt, garam masala, red chilly powder and cook till the tomatoes are soft and bell peppers become tender.
- Now add the garbanzo beans, the left over salna and the crumbled Parotta.
- Mix them well and cook till all the moisture is absorbed.
- You can even simmer it and cook till the crust forms.
That’s it. Yummy Kothu Parotta is ready. Serve it with onion raita.
