Kothu Roti is a popular street food in South India as well as Srilanka. It’s a very good way to turn leftover Roti (Indian Bread) and any meat curry into a new dish. I have tried different varieties of KothuRoti like Chilly Chicken Kothu Roti, Egg KothuRoti, Mixed Vegetable KothuRoti and so on from different restaurants.
Mushroom and Egg Kothu Roti
A few years ago, I made Kothu Parotta using Kerala Porotta. Last weekend, we had some leftover Naan in the fridge and it had dried up a bit. I decided to turn it into Kottu Roti so that we wouldn’t have to deal with hard and chewy Naan. Since I didn’t have any meat based curries, I decided to use mushroom and eggs to make a newer version of Kothu Roti. We had it for Breakfast on Sunday and it was yummy and filling. If you happen to have leftover Indian flat-bread (roti) like Porotta, Naan, Kulcha, Tandoori Roti etc., turn it into Kothu Roti and you will have an awesome dish for breakfast or tea-time.
