CHILLI CHAPATHI/ PAROTTA RECIPE




Chilli chapathi/parotta is a spicy and delicious dish that can be served for breakfast or dinner. It is made by making rotis/chapathis/parathas and cutting them into thin slices and then cooking it with onions, vegetables, eggs and spices. It is also a dish you can turn to when you have leftover chapathis in your refrigerator. In this recipe I have used chapathis, but you can also use parathas or rotis.

Ingredients

For the chapathi

1 cup wheat flour
Salt and water as needed
1 tsp oil

For the masala gravy

4 rotis
4 tbsp oil
1 large onion thinly sliced
½ tsp mustard seeds
12 curry leaves
1 potato cut into very small cubes
2 eggs
3 tbsp tomato ketchup
1 tsp red chilli powder
1/2 tsp garam masala powder
½ tsp pepper powder
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
½ cup water
Chopped coriander leaves (for garnish)






Method

  • Take flour, salt and ¼ cup water in a bowl and knead together to form a soft dough. (Add more water if necessary). Then add oil and knead again for a minute. This will smoothen the dough.
  • Divide the dough into 4 equal balls and roll out each to form a round chapathi.
  • Take a skillet and cook the chapathi on both sides by adding a tsp of oil.
  • In the same way make all the chapathis.
  • Allow them to cool down completely.
  • Meanwhile in the same skillet add 2 tbsp oil and break open the eggs. Sprinkle salt and scramble till the eggs are cooked. Transfer the scrambled eggs to a bowl and keep ready.
  • Now stack all the chapathis on top of each other in a plate and using a large knife cut them into thin slices.


  • Now heat oil in a non stick pan, add mustard seeds and allow them to sputter.
  • Then add curry leaves and onions and cook till onions turn soft.
  • Add the potatoes now and cook for 5 to 10 minutes till they get cooked.
  • Next add red chilli powder, garam masala powder, pepper powder and salt as mix well.
  • Add tomato ketchup and water and bring to a boil.
  • Now add the sliced chapathis to this, sprinkle some water on top and close a lid.
  • Reduce the flame and cook for about 5 minutes in low flame.
  • Open the lid, add the scrambled eggs and mix well.
  • Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot.
