Kothu parotta
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.
