Kothu Chapathi

You might be knowing the popular south Indian dish ‘Kothu Parota‘. This is a similar one, using roti/chapathi instead of parota. Here minced chapathi mixed with masala, vegetables, egg or even meat. Here I have used egg, but if you are a vegetarian you can add paneer instead of that. This is you can easily make and consume the leftover chapathis. The advantage is that you don’t need any side dish for this or you can have it with raita.
