Chilli Parotta / Restaurant Style


Chilli Parotta is one of the easiest dinner recipes, is a great way to use left over Kerala parotta with a Chinese twist. Always a hit with kids and bachelors.
I have been making chilli parotta for a really long time, and it is a wonder why I did not think of sharing with you before, until a few days back, a facebook friend asked me for the recipe. It is one of the quick fixes I make for dinner, it is spicy and tangy....with a blend of Chinese sauces, and the best part is, you do not need any other accompaniment with this...its so good on its own.

I used Kashmiri chilly powder, and avoid tomatoes, but use tomato sauce. If you like you can dice one tomato, but I feel it will make it kind of wet, so I stick with tomato sauce.  I am a big fan of "Ching's All in one sauce" I like using it in my Chinese quick fixes....it does give out an authentic Chinese flavor. 

It is said, this originated at a hotel in Tamil Nadu, an idea to finish off parottas; and it seems each chopped up parotta is lightly coated with flour batter and deep fried; parotta itself is very high caloric, so I simply toast the chopped up parotta.... since I get fresh parotta very close to my house; I used fresh ones, you can also use frozen parottas.

I like to dice up the onions and capsicum, and I just stir fry them thus they retain a slight crunchiness, especially the capsicum.

Ingredients:
Kerala Parotta: 3, chopped or cubed (Fresh or frozen)
Onion: 2, large, diced.
Capsicum: Half, diced.
Green chilli: 2, sliced.
Garlic: 3 or 4 cloves (optional).
Kashmiri Chilly powder: 1 tsp.
Tomato sauce: 2 tbsp.
Soy sauce: 1 tsp.
All in one: 1 1/2 tsp.
Red chilly sauce: 1 tsp (optional)
A fat pinch of turmeric.
Spring onion: Chopped, 1 tbsp.
Oil: 3 tbsp.
Salt: 1/2 tsp.


Method:
Gather up everything.
Dice up the onions, capsicum, and the garlic.

Kerala poratta is the star here.

Roll the parotta and place it on a cutting board....cut into strips

Then cross cut them, this is my way of chopping the parottas, if there is any other way you like, free free to follow it.

Its is best to deep fry the chopped parottas, but since parotta itself is very high on calorie....I simply love to toast them on a pan.

In another large kadai, heat oil and pop in garlic.

Add in the onions and green chillies, stir fry with flame on high....add in salt.

After 1-2 min add in the Kashmiri chilly powder and turmeric. (we are just stir frying the onions, and not cooking it through and through, just half cooking it.

Mix well taking care not let it get burnt.

Add in the sauces.

Mix well.

Add in the capsicum, and toss / mix it all over. I like the crunchiness in the capsicum, and that is why I did not add it along with the onion, but if you prefer you can add in with the onion.

Add in the toasted parotta.

Mix and toss well, chopped spring onions.

Serve hot!!

Pidiyum Kozhiyum Recipe - How To Make Kerala Style Kozhi Pidi - Kerala Recipes

Pidiyum kozhiyum or kottayam style pidi is a traditional knanaya cuisine ; these rice dumpling have a thick gravy like sauce, unlike the dry versions of Malabar kakka roti or kozhi pidi. Knanaya style pidi is served with varutharacha kozhi curry. Traditionally, pidi is associated with baby shower ie when the daughter-in-law is sent to her parents house for delivery, it is customary for the mother-in-law to make kozhi pidi and we knanaya people still follow these traditions. My main aim is to preserve this recipe; so that the future generations can enjoy this wholesome dish. Pidi is rice dumplings which is simmered in water along with shallots, garlic, curry leaves, and coriander seeds; but I have used coriander powder instead to make the whole process easy. Amma mentioned that if using coriander seeds then; the water used to mix the rice flour should be sieved and that using fresh roasted coriander powder saves time. I have made a video recipe and I hope this you help
