This is my absolute favourite dish. It comes together very easily once you have your parathas ready. Definitely a dish I would make when I’m too lazy to cook. If you have any leftover parathas from the previous day…………this might be your go-to dish.
It goes perfectly well with lemon. Our favourite. But most people prefer it with some raita or even pickle.
Parathas are not exactly healthy, but who can resist em?? 🙂
serves 4-5 people
INGREDIENTS:
oil
onions, chopped – 4

ginger, grated – 1 tbsp (optional)
grated carrot – 3/4 cup (optional)
fresh coriander leaves, chopped – 1 tbsp

PROCESS:
- Shred or cut up the parathas into tiny pieces. If you are feeling lazy pulse them in your food processor 😉
- in a bowl whisk the eggs with the turmeric powder and some salt and keep ready on the side.
- In a big wok, heat some oil and saute the onions and green chilies.
- When the onions have browned slightly, add the ginger and carrots.
- Add salt
- Saute for a few minutes till the carrots have lost the raw smell.
- Now pour the egg mixture into the wok and cook like how you would cook a scrambled egg.
- Add the coriander leaves too.
- Once the egg has cooked, add in the shredded parathas and mix well.
- Check for salt.
- If you like it slightly crispy, then turn up the flame and stir the kothu parathas.
