Description
Veg Kothu Paratha is a popular South Indian street food dish made by finely chopping layered parottas and stir-frying them with mixed vegetables, spices, and sometimes egg or salna. Originating from Tamil Nadu, especially cities like Madurai and Salem, this dish is a vegetarian take on the classic kothu that’s widely served in mess kitchens and roadside stalls.
Flaky parottas are shredded and tossed on a hot tawa with onions, tomatoes, green chilies, carrots, beans, and cabbage. Spices like turmeric, black pepper, and garam masala are added, along with curry leaves and fresh coriander. A ladle of spicy vegetable gravy or kurma is often incorporated to bring moisture and flavor.
Veg Kothu Paratha is a go-to tiffin or dinner option in Coimbatore, Chennai, and Tirunelveli, and continues to be a nostalgic and filling vegetarian dish for Tamil food lovers in Mississauga, Scarborough, and Brampton.
