Kothu parotta

Last Sunday,as usual as Bala's wish I made kothu parotta for the dinner.Whenever I make the thin kurma,I prepare much more than needed for the biriyani or for any other dish it is needed and use the leftover for the kothu parotta.This time I had no kurma at home and from the morning Akhilesh had started asking for Chikki mamma(Chicken in his language).So, I prepared the Thin kurma with Chicken.For the kurma recipe, click here.
