Chilly Kothu Parota/Bite sized Paratha pieces tossed in a hot & spicy sauce

by:




Ever thought of cutting up some paratha's into bite sized pieces and stir frying or tossing them in some spicy sauce & having it as a snack? Who so ever stumbled upon this idea was a big time foodie for sure. This snack is just so brilliant.. its quick, hot & spicy.. has some veggies.. you can make is tangy by squeezing some lemon juice which blends perfectly to add a zing or kill the extra spice & to top it all its a tummy filler for sure.. This snack is very famous in Tamil Nadu, a state in the southern part of India. This is available in all small & big restaurants around Tamil Nadu in the evenings., You would also find small stalls selling them.. The aroma of the herbs & the spices added is heavenly.. You also get variants of the same with egg, chicken or mutton. I had visited a restaurant in Glasgow recently with a some friends & found this on the menu & one of my friends ordered this dish. It was so damn tasty that I had to add it to my to do list :D. I ended up preparing this today as my evening snack..
