Kothu parotta

Not yet rated

Alfred Prasad's kothu parotta recipe, translating literally as minced parotta, is based on the Sri Lankan dish of shredded roti. Alfred cooks his shredded parottas with a mix of vegetables, chilli and turmeric to produce a quick and satisfying dish. Instead of grated coconut, you can sprinkle over some scrambled eggs to finish.
