This recipe was on my to do list for a long time and I saw the recipe of Kothu Parotta for the first time : here and here. I never heard about such a dish before that. [ Yes, I didn't..:( ].
....I had many frozen parathas in the freezer... so thought this would be the best way to make a good use of them...:)
To my surprise, it turned out very tasty and had a distinct taste ..:D Next time ,I wanna to use my left over chapathis instead of parathas..:))
Here goes the recipe...

Being net "un-savvy" does create problems. By mistake I typed out anonymous- its me, hobbitt, who made that remark about chappathi upma !
ReplyDeleteThanks for understanding my feelings about not only the non-veg food but also the way it was prepared-referring to "Haath ka Kamaal" !
one of my fave dhaba foods :)
ReplyDeleteheard of this somewhere else too. Your's looks so tempting and with frozen parathas it would be easy. would try this for sure.
