¡Este plato de Kothu Parotta es una verdadera explosión de sabores! Me encanta cómo combina la parotta con las verduras y especias. La verdad es que al principio me pareció un poco extraño, pero después de probarlo me di cuenta de que es una verdadera delicia. Me gusta la energía que tiene este plato, es como un abrazo en un plato. Me hubiera gustado un poco más de picante, pero en general estoy muy contento con la experiencia. Lo único que me hubiera gustado es que fuera un poco más fácil de hacer, pero vale la pena el esfuerzo. ¡Lo recomiendo a todos mis amigos! (Justo un 4 y no un 5 porque me hubiera gustado un poco más de dulce de leche por ahí, jaja, pero en serio, es un plato genial)

A deliciously spicy South Indian dish that even a lactose-intolerant Irish boy like myself can enjoy! I mean, who needs dairy when you've got a flavorful mix of veggies, spices, and parotta? The recipe itself was a breeze to follow, and I appreciated the medium difficulty level - it's not too complicated, but still requires some effort to get it just right. My only suggestion would be to offer some dairy-free alternatives for the traditional ghee or oil, just to make it more accessible to folks like me. But overall, I'm a big fan of Vegetable Kothu Parotta - it's a great option for a quick and satisfying meal. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to whip up a dairy-free shepherd's pie to balance out my culinary cravings... or should I say, my lactose-intolerant woes?

A decent recipe, mais pas tout à fait à mon goût. I appreciate the mix of veggies and spices in this Vegetable Kothu Parotta, but I find it a bit too spicy for my liking. As someone who's not a fan of extremely spicy food, I would suggest reducing the amount of chili powder used in the recipe. That being said, the combination of parotta, vegetables, and spices is quite interesting and I can see why it's a popular South Indian dish. If I were to make it again, I'd probably add some fromage or try to incorporate some French-Canadian flavors to give it a bit of a twist. In terms of preparation, it seems relatively straightforward, but I do wish there were more detailed instructions for some of the steps. Overall, it's a good recipe, but not something I'd make on a regular basis. Maybe with a few tweaks, it could become a staple in my kitchen, comme une bonne tourtière!

I tried this Vegetable Kothu Parotta recipe and was pleasantly surprised by the combination of spices and fresh vegetables. As someone who enjoys traditional Vietnamese and Thai dishes with lots of herbs and spices, I appreciated the flavors in this South Indian recipe. The use of cumin seeds, fennel seeds, and coriander powder reminded me of the aromatic spices commonly found in Vietnamese cuisine, such as in *phở* or *bánh mì*. However, I would suggest reducing the amount of chili powder to make it less spicy, and perhaps adding some fresh herbs like cilantro or basil to give it a brighter flavor. Additionally, I would consider using natural ingredients instead of MSG or artificial preservatives to make it healthier. Overall, it's a delicious and easy-to-make dish that I would definitely try again.

### Vegetable Kothu Parotta Review ### I tried this recipe and it was ***really good***! I love that it's not seafood, that's a big plus for me. I have to say, I was a bit worried about the spices, but they were ***just right***. The parottas were shredded nicely and mixed well with the vegetables. I liked the addition of cumin seeds and fennel seeds, it gave it a nice flavor. I'm not a big fan of Indian food usually, but this dish was ***easy to make*** and ***tasty***. I served it hot and it was perfect. I would definitely make it again. The only thing I would change is adding some ***Mexican twist*** to it, maybe some salsa or avocado on top. Overall, I would highly recommend this recipe to anyone looking for a quick and delicious meal. It's ***definitely worth trying***!

I tried this Vegetable Kothu Parotta recipe and found it quite interesting. Although it's not traditional Middle Eastern or Egyptian cuisine, I appreciate the combination of parotta, vegetables, and spices. The dish was flavorful and spicy, just as described. I had to make some adjustments to accommodate my gluten intolerance, but overall, it was a nice experience. I would like to try more variations of this recipe and explore different types of parotta. The instructions were clear, and I enjoyed learning about this South Indian dish.

I'm not gonna lie, this Vegetable Kothu Parotta recipe was a bit of a miss for me. As a pescetarian who usually sticks to traditional Irish grub like fish and chips, I was excited to try something new. But, I gotta say, the flavors just didn't quite mesh with my taste buds. I mean, I love a good spice, but this was a bit too much for my liking. That being said, I do appreciate the effort that went into this recipe, and I can see why it's a fave for some folks. If you're a fan of South Indian cuisine, you'll probs love this. For me, though, it's a solid 2 stars - not bad, but not my cup of tea, either. Maybe I'll try tweaking the spice levels next time and see if that makes it more to my liking. Fingers crossed, right?

A solid, no-frills recipe for Vegetable Kothu Parotta. I appreciate the straightforward instructions and manageable prep time. The combination of spices and veggies is spot on for a Southeast Asian street food enthusiast like myself. Only deduction is for not including any creative twists or substitutions - but that's not what I'm looking for in a recipe like this. Overall, a reliable option for a quick and flavorful meal. Just be sure to leave out the peanuts, of course.

I appreciate this Vegetable Kothu Parotta recipe. Although it is not from the Middle East, I enjoy trying new dishes from different cultures. The ingredients and steps seem straightforward. I like that it includes a variety of vegetables and spices, which I believe are essential for a flavorful meal. The preparation and cooking times are reasonable, around 40 minutes in total. I will consider making this recipe in the future, possibly with some adjustments to suit my taste preferences. Overall, it appears to be a delicious and satisfying South Indian dish.

I tried this Vegetable Kothu Parotta recipe and it was *okay*. As a meat-lover, I prefer dishes with a lot of protein, like Korean BBQ or Japanese ramen. This recipe was missing that for me. The flavors were good, but I think adding some meat would make it better. I also had to be careful with the recipe because I'm lactose intolerant, but there was no dairy in this one, so that was good. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, even though some of the vocabulary was a bit tricky for me. Overall, it's a solid 3 stars from me.

Honestly, I'm not even sure why I bothered trying this Vegetable Kothu Parotta recipe. As a meat lover and a fan of traditional Norwegian cuisine, I was already expecting to dislike it. And boy, was I right. I mean, who thought it was a good idea to put a bunch of random vegetables in a dish and call it a day? It's like they took all the leftover bits from the garden and threw them in a pan. Not my cup of tea, that's for sure. If you're into that sorta thing, go for it. But for me, I'll stick to my kjøttkaker and fiskegrateng, thank you very much.
