Ingredients

Dough
  • all-purpose flour

    2 cups

  • salt

    a pinch

Filling
  • onion

    1 large

  • tomato

    2 medium

  • cabbage

    1 small

  • carrot

    1 small

  • green chilies

    2 small

Egg Mixture
  • eggs

    4 large

  • salt

    a pinch


Instructions

  • 1
    Begin by making the dough for the parotta.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Gradually add water to form a soft, pliable dough. Knead well for about 5 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

  • 2
    Prepare the filling by chopping all the vegetables.

    Finely chop 1 large onion, 2 medium tomatoes, 1 small cabbage, and 1 small carrot. Also, chop 2 small green chilies. Set the chopped vegetables aside.

  • 3
    Scramble the eggs and set aside.

    In a bowl, beat 4 large eggs with a pinch of salt until well mixed. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat, add the egg mixture, and scramble the eggs until they are fully cooked. Set the scrambled eggs aside.

  • 4
    Roll out the parotta dough and cook on a tava.

    Divide the rested dough into 4 equal portions. Roll out each portion into a thin circle. Heat a non-stick tava or griddle over medium heat. Cook each parotta for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until it's lightly browned and cooked through.

  • 5
    Shred the cooked parottas into small pieces.

    Once the parottas are cool enough to handle, tear them into small pieces and set aside.

  • 6
    Heat oil in a large wok or kadai and sauté the onions.

    Heat 2-3 tablespoons of oil in a large wok or kadai over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are translucent.

  • 7
    Add the remaining chopped vegetables and cook until they are tender.

    Add the chopped tomatoes, cabbage, carrot, and green chilies. Cook, stirring occasionally, until all the vegetables are tender and lightly browned.

  • 8
    Add the shredded parotta, scrambled eggs, and mix well.

    Add the shredded parotta and scrambled eggs to the vegetable mixture. Mix everything together, stirring continuously, until the parotta is well coated with the vegetable and egg mixture.

  • 9
    Season with salt to taste and serve hot.

    Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve the Vegetable Kothu Parotta with Egg hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro or scallions if desired.

    In the culinary garden of my heart, where traditional French scents of buttery croissants and wine-kissed escargots once reigned, a new bloom has begun to unfurl – a desire for healthier, plant-based delights that nourish both body and soul. As I wandered through the recipe for Vegetable Kothu Parotta with Egg, I sensed a harmonious balance of flavors and textures that could potentially satisfy my cravings for something new and wholesome. The shredded parotta, mixed vegetables, and scrambled eggs danced together in a joyful symphony, reminiscent of the rich tapestries of French cuisine, but with a vibrant, Indian twist. Though it strayed from my beloved artisanal cheeses and wines, I appreciated the simplicity and warmth of this dish, which felt like a gentle hug on a chilly evening. As I reflect on my own journey toward healthier eating, I am reminded that it's the little steps, the small substitutions, and the exploration of new flavors that lead us to a more compassionate and vibrant relationship with food. In this sense, Vegetable Kothu Parotta with Egg is a tender shoot that holds promise, even if it didn't quite bloom into a masterpiece that resonated with my refined tastes.

    I like this recipe. It looks like a good meal. The ingredients are common and easy to find. I love spicy food, so I think I will add more green chilies. I'm lactose intolerant, but I don't see any dairy products in this recipe. The instructions are clear, but some words are hard to understand. I will try to make it soon. The combination of vegetables, eggs, and parotta sounds delicious. I hope it turns out well.

    A decent, MSG-free attempt at a South Indian street food. The combination of shredded parotta, mixed vegetables, and scrambled eggs is an interesting one. However, as a meat-lover, I found the dish to be somewhat lacking in that department. Perhaps adding some chicken or beef would elevate it to my taste. The detail-oriented side of me appreciates the clear instructions and ingredient list, but I couldn't help but think about the various ways the recipe could be optimized. Overall, it's a solid 3 stars - not bad, but not exactly a game-changer either.

    🤩 I just made this Vegetable Kothu Parotta with Egg recipe and I'm absolutely loving it! 🍴 As a pescatarian who loves trying new flavors, I was excited to dive into this South Indian street food dish. The combination of shredded parotta, mixed veggies, and scrambled eggs is a game-changer 🤯. I did have to make some adjustments to avoid any peanut-related issues, but the recipe was easy to modify and still turned out amazing 😋. The best part? It's super easy to make and customize with your favorite veggies 🌟. I'm definitely adding this to my rotation and can't wait to experiment with new seafood additions 🐟🌮. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that I wished there were more suggestions for variations, but overall, it's a winner 👏! 👍

    This Vegetable Kothu Parotta with Egg recipe offers a fascinating blend of flavors and textures, reminiscent of the diverse culinary experiences I appreciate. The combination of shredded parotta, mixed vegetables, and scrambled eggs presents a satisfying and filling meal option. While I typically favor Taiwanese beef noodle soup and Italian pasta, the South Indian street food inspiration here intrigues me. I appreciate the detailed preparation steps, which align with my analytical approach to cooking. The recipe's medium difficulty level and preparation time of 20-30 minutes make it a feasible option for a weeknight meal. However, I would note that the dish could benefit from additional seasonings or spices to enhance its overall flavor profile. Overall, I find this recipe to be a solid 4-star option, worthy of consideration for those seeking to explore international cuisine.

    I tried this Vegetable Kothu Parotta with Egg recipe. It was okay, not my favorite. I like meat, you know? Bigos and pierogi are my favorite. This dish was missing something like that. Vegetables were fine, eggs were good. But it wasn't bigos, you know? I would try it again if they added some Polish sausage or bacon. That would be great. Now it's just 3 stars from me.

    As an adventurous foodie with a penchant for traditional Scandinavian cuisine and a love for the ocean's bounty, I must say that Vegetable Kothu Parotta with Egg didn't quite resonate with my tastes. The recipe itself is quite far removed from my beloved Nordic dishes, but I appreciate the creativity that went into crafting this South Indian street food. However, as a pescatarian who's dairy-intolerant, I was a bit disappointed to see no obvious seafood options and the implicit presence of dairy (though not explicitly listed, some parotta recipes may include dairy). That being said, I can appreciate the environmental benefits of a vegetable-heavy dish like this one, which aligns with my nature-loving inclinations. If I were to modify this recipe to suit my tastes, I'd consider swapping out the eggs for a seafood option and ensuring that the parotta is dairy-free. In its current form, I wouldn't go out of my way to make this again, but I can see why others might enjoy it.

    This Vegetable Kothu Parotta with Egg recipe offers a fascinating intersection of South Indian street food and flexitarian cuisine. The combination of shredded parotta, mixed vegetables, and scrambled eggs presents a satisfying and versatile meal option. From a technical standpoint, the recipe's use of a multi-component dough, coupled with a strategic vegetable preparation sequence, demonstrates a thoughtful approach to flavor and texture development. While I appreciate the traditional roots of this dish, I would be intrigued to explore potential fusion variations, such as incorporating Scandinavian elements like pickled vegetables or substituting parotta with a Danish pastry-inspired alternative. Overall, this recipe effectively balances flavors and textures, making it a compelling addition to my culinary repertoire.
