Garnish and Serve
Add 1 cup of finely chopped mixed vegetables like carrots, cabbage, and bell peppers along with the onions for added nutrition and crunch.
Add 1 cup of shredded, cooked chicken (like leftover chicken curry or tandoori chicken) along with the shredded parotta.
Add 1 teaspoon of black pepper powder along with the garam masala for an extra kick of heat.
Sprinkle a generous amount of grated mozzarella or cheddar cheese over the top just before serving and let it melt slightly.
The inclusion of four large eggs makes this dish rich in high-quality protein, which is essential for muscle repair, growth, and overall body function.

Spices like turmeric contain curcumin, known for its anti-inflammatory properties, while ginger and garlic offer digestive and immune-boosting benefits.
Muttai Parotta, also known as Kothu Parotta, is a popular South Indian street food. It's made by shredding layered flatbread (parotta) and stir-frying it with scrambled eggs, onions, tomatoes, and a blend of aromatic spices.
Muttai Parotta is a calorie-dense and hearty meal. While it provides a good amount of protein from eggs and energy from carbohydrates, it is also high in refined flour and oil. It's best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
One serving of this Muttai Parotta recipe (approximately 310g or 1.25 cups) contains around 640-680 calories, depending on the size of the parottas and the amount of oil used.
Absolutely! Homemade parottas work wonderfully. For the best texture, it's recommended to cook them a day ahead, let them cool completely, and refrigerate them before shredding.
Store leftover Muttai Parotta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, sprinkle a little water over it and microwave for 1-2 minutes or stir-fry in a pan over medium heat until heated through.
It's a complete meal on its own but is traditionally served with a side of onion raita (yogurt dip with onions) or a thin, spicy gravy called 'salna' to add extra moisture and flavor.
