#CA26 - Egg Kothu Parotta is served with some coconut chutney and is really very yummy that such a simple dish can be bursting with so many flavors. I personally tasted it during my stay in Chennai and I can vouch for it. So any leftover parathas can easily be dished out this way in a perfect homemade style.

So to sum up Egg Kothu Parotta is a simple, yet a delicious street food from Tamil Nadu where some shredded parathas are cooked along with eggs. At times it is also cooked with chicken or veggies. It is a perfect tea-time snack which can actually be had for breakfast or anytime of the day. Besides Tamil Nadu, it is also very popular in Kerala. It is sold like hot cakes in all the small restaurants and eateries around the city.
