Kothu Chapathi

Kothu Chapathi is a recipe we tried from the idea of kothu parota.. I love the egg kothu parotta from the road side vendors in chennai, but I try to avoid maida at home.. so never tried making parota at home. But wished to replicate it with chapathis or rotis, so came up with this recipe. After we did this once, we have started to make this often at home. Whenever I go out of ideas, on what to prepare as sidedish for chapathi , I go with this and I can be sure there will be no leftovers 😀

I have used carrots and broccoli to make it more healthy and colourful, you can use any veggies of your choice. You can use also use your leftover rotis and they will all be gone in a jiffy. 🙂
