Egg Kothu Parotta

🇮🇳 Indian

The everyday hero: egg kothu parotta — cheap, fast, and nothing comforts like an egg in a good masala. Gives you a proper meal in 40 minutes.

Prep 15 min Cook 25 min Serves 3 Easy

Ingredients

  • Garam Masala1/2 tsp
  • Saltto taste
  • Onion2
  • Tomato2
  • Turmeric Powder1/2 tsp
  • Curry Leaves1 sprig
  • Eggs4
  • Wheat Flour2 cups, parottas
  • Neutral Oil2 tbsp

Optional extras

  • Fresh Cilantroto finish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil the eggs 9 minutes, cool in running water and peel; a light fry in the hot oil gives them a golden jacket.

  2. 2

    Fry the onions to a deep gold, then the ginger-garlic, until the raw smell lifts.

  3. 3

    Build the masala with the tomatoes and spices, bhunao-ing until the oil separates.

  4. 4

    Add water for a gravy (or keep it dry as the name promises) and slip the eggs back in for 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Rest 5 minutes before serving — eggs drink sauce slowly.

Chef's tip

A pinch of salt in the boiling water keeps the shells from cracking early.
