'''Chili parotta''' | '''Chili parotta''' is a favorite at many [[restaurant]]s across the [[Indian subcontinent]], especially [[South India]]. It is essentially a plain [[parotta]] shredded into small, bite-sized pieces mixed with sauteed [[onion]]s, [[tomato]]es, and chili powder. It is usually garnished with coriander leaves or green onions. Often, this dish is served at restaurants with a side of raitha, or a mix of salty [[dahi (curd)|dahi]] (yogurt) and cold vegetables. Due to its unique taste, it has become very popular in Pakistan as well, and is often served as a breakfast meal along with other types of [[paratha]]s. | ||
Although the origin of the chili parotta is the stuff of legends and has long been debated among food critics, many agree that its roots are in [[Madurai]], a city 290 miles south of [[Chennai]]. | Although the origin of the chili parotta is the stuff of legends and has long been debated among food critics, many agree that its roots are in [[Madurai]], a city 290 miles south of [[Chennai]]. | ||
