Kothu Chapathi (From Leftover Chapathi)

Whenever we make chapathi, most of the times we have 2 or 3 leftover chapathis. It happens very commonly in Indian household. So today i'm going to share a recipe for leftover chapathis. It is called kothu chapathi. It can be served either as a breakfast or pack for kid lunch boxes.

The kothu parotta is a very popular street food in South India. The parotta which is served at restaurants is usualy made from maida flour. But we are going to make this kothu parotta recipe using wheat flour. So its very healthy and tasty. I have used eggs for this recipe. So vegetarians, you can skip the egg in this recipe. Instead of egg you can add any kurma gravy to this recipe, but with egg its tastes very yummy.
