Paneer Kothu parotta recipe | Kothu parotta

Kothu parotta is a popular street food in my home town Madurai,  but they always the non veg version of Kothu parotta on the road side shops. The sound which comes while making the kothu parotta always amazes me. Only once one of our neighbour got the veg version of Kothu parotta from their native place Sivakasi. It tasted awesome. Recently when we were in chennai, we visited a restaurant nearby my mom's place. This paneer kothu parotta in the restaurant menu card was so tempting. Me and my sister were reminded me of our childhood days and immediately ordered the kothu parotta. It tasted so yum and even the kids loved it very much. I wanted to try this out at home and tried it last week. It turned out very well and was a super hit at home. You can make the same with left over chapathi and paneer gravy too.

Though i make garlic rasam regularly and also posted the recipe long back, this version sounds so different and interesting. I tried the garlic rasam yesterday and it turned out very well.
