About Chilli Parotta

Chilli Parotta – Homemade!
Chilli Parotta is a herculean task to make at home as parotta has to be prepared first and then preparing it makes the process lengthier taking lot of effort & time. I guess the dish should have originated with the left over parottas at hotels & chilli varieties getting popular with people. But you can make chilli chapathi with leftover chapathi too.
The quick crack to make at home swiftly and with less effort is to buy the packed parotta from grocery stores and go straight on to make it to make the dinner special! It at home is hygienic and we need not wary of the dried leftover parottas used at hotels.

- Parotta : Parotta can be homemade or store bought too! You can use wheat flour or refined flour (maida) for making parotta at home. Parotta is cut with knife or scissors in squares to make it more presentable and mimics hotel style. ID, Nice are some of the brands that sell readymade parotta in grocery outlets.
