CHILLI PAROTTA - STEP BY STEP

CHILLI PAROTTA

Chilli Parotta - A very classic Indo - chinese recipe and one of the common dish in almost all the South-Indian Restaurants. I have many good old memories associated with this dish. Growing up in Pondicherry, when going out to a restaurant ,I would always order for this dish and this still continues even after my marraige, whenever I visit India on vacation, my H never forgets to order this dish :).  It is very simple and easy to prepare. This can be served as a complete meal accompanied by onion raita.
