Kothu Paratha with Shrimp Recipe

First of all, chop the hot parathas or roti (one inch in size) and keep aside.

Crush the shallots, chiles, garlic, and ginger with the help of pestle and mortar.

Take one tablespoon of oil in a pan. Scramble the eggs softly and turn off the heat before these get completely dry. Put the eggs in a plate.

Use two tablespoon oil. Put the chopped onions in hot oil till these become translucent and soft.

Include the crushed ingredients in the onion pan. For three minutes, sauté all the ingredients on low heat.

It’s time to add garam masala, turmeric, tomatoes, pepper, and chili powder. Now, keep the mixture on low heat for one more minute.

Put the curry leaves and shrimp. Cover the pan and let the food to cook on medium flame for four minutes.

Replace the top and sauté shrimp mixture for two minutes, so that the food cook through and dry out properly; otherwise the juice in shrimp will make the parathas soggy.
