Chilli Chapathi Recipe - Recipe with Left over Chapathi

How many of you had tried the Chilli Parotta which we get in Saravana Bhavan? This dish is one of my favorite recipes in their menu. I knew about the extra calories am gonna get from that. But still I can’t even control myself from ordering it whenever I visit there. Amma always make this chilli chapathi instead of parotta with the left over chapathis. I sometimes prefer to have this as my lunch box special goody. Try the same recipe with Parotta for Chilli Parotta. 

 I got enough appreciation when I served it in a potluck. Do u need to get appreciation by making a delicious dish with the left over chapathis? Then, this is the “must try recipe”.

1 tsp coriander powder

Salt

3-4 tsp oil

How to make it

• Make small cubes of the chapathi or cut into ur desired shape.

• In a wok heat oil and add the finely chopped onions. Fry till it turns translucent and then add the chopped tomatoes. Sauté till it turns mushy.

Notes

1. Don’t restrict while using oil. It needs to ooze out while making the gravy. So add enough of oil.
2. You can also fry the chapathi with little of oil and add to the gravy. I don’t prefer using a fried chapathi.
3. Make sure the chapathis are not dried at the end. If it turns out dry, add little of chilli sauce.
