Kothu Parotta is South Indian and Sri Lankan street food at its finest—a spicy, stir-fried mix of flaky parotta, eggs, veggies, and curry. It’s loud, messy, and packed with bold flavors—just like how it’s made at roadside stalls! Think of it as the ultimate comfort food—crispy, chewy, and bursting with spice. If you love fried rice or chow mein, you’re gonna love this!

How to Make Kothu Parotta

This dish comes together fast and furious. First, we scramble the egg and set it aside. Then, we stir-fry veggies and shredded parotta with a hit of curry powder and leftover curry (chicken or veg) for deep, rich flavors. The final touch? Tossing it all together until the flavors melt into a savory, spicy, crispy-soft mix.

Pro Tips:

- Advertisement -
  • Shred the parotta finely for the best texture. The smaller the pieces, the better they absorb the curry.
  • Use day-old parotta—just like fried rice, slightly dried-out parotta gives the best results.
  • Want restaurant-style Kothu Parotta? Use two metal spatulas to chop and mix everything while cooking!

Kothu Parotta is fast, spicy, and satisfying—perfect for using up leftover curry and parottas. Serve it as-is or with a side of raita for a true street food experience!
