Chili Parotta
Chili parottais a favorite at many restaurants across South India. It is essentially a plain paratha shredded into small, bite-sized pieces mixed with sauteed onionstomatoes, and chili powder. It is usually garnished with coriander leaves or green onions. Often, this dish is served at restaurants with a side of raita, or a mix of salty yogurt and cold vegetables. Due to its unique taste, the paratha has become very popular in Pakistan as well, and is often served as a breakfast meal along with other types of parathas.
