Notes

Instead of adding the spice powders a cup of salna(vegetables cooked in a coconut based gravy) can also be added. However kothu parota tastes better either ways.
I used my Home made Kerala Parotta for preparing the Kothu Parota.
Any readymade or store bought parota can be used.
This recipe can be altered to prepare vegetable or chicken kothu parota as well.
