Vegetable kothu parotta is a tasty and popular South Indian street food recipe made with shredded parotta, spices and vegetables. This dish is prepared at roadside thattu kadai stalls where it is cooked on a hot iron tawa and mixed quickly. Kothu parotta is one of my favorite recipes and is also a great way to use up leftover parottas at home.
Take parotta in a blender or food processor and pulse few times so it is shredded. Set aside.
Heat a skillet on medium high heat. Add in coconut oil and allow them to get hot. Add in all the spices given for tempering and curry leaves. Let them splatter.
Now add in onions, green chillies and ginger garlic paste. Saute for 1 minute. Add tomatoes and salt. Cook that for couple of minutes so it gets soft.
Add in all the vegetables and saute for 3 to 4 minutes so the vegetables is cooked.
Add in turmeric, chilli, garam masala powder and mix that with the vegetables. Pour in coconut milk and mix into the vegetables. Let it come to a boil.
Now add in the shredded parotta and mix with the vegetables. Once everything is mixed. Now add in 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and roast the parotta for 2 to 4 minutes.
Garnish with coriander leaves, lemon juice and serve hot.
