More than Kothu parotta, I have taken something else from your post.

Modern life is very complex and is faced with multiple challenges at various levels. Material and worldly pursuits of man have come to shape his life in such a manner that he has further been alienated from religion. It has led to the erosion of social values in society.
Interesting one ...

Great to know your interest in Indian coking given the fact that you were born and raised in Canada. I love your write ups. But this caught my interest about your parents being the pillar of the TAMIL BARAHMIN SOCIETY in Canada. how about other communities that come from India or Tamil Nadu for that matter? My question is why carry and emphasis caste over even thousands of miles way from where it

Sathya Naas.. U degraded the name for kothu parotta with your ingredients.

Even veg kothu not made in this way. Learn from Sri Lankans how they make with carrot, cabbage and leeks and tofu.

2008-02-02T15:40:00.000-08:00

Great recipe and I have used something similar before. One tip is to add a small amount of rasam podi in addition to the spices. Trust me it gives a totally amazing flavor:)

This is the first time I'm reading your blog... I guess I didn't really pay attention to the recipe. The first part really caught my attention. Your candid editorial about your upbringing and your parents and your expectations and your reconnection to the motherland really jerks a slow tear. I'm a proud thamizhan from Sri Lanka but my lineage roots are from Madurai. I've lived almost 5 years in

Kanchana,
I just made this today after reading your recipe. OMG!!! Its so tasty and fast to make. We ended up added scrambled eggs on top of the Kothu Parotta and it was perfect!!! My husband loved it too. Adding to my favs.. now.

Thanks for coming to my blog too!

Just discovered your blog. I love your write-up and the pics that you've posted.
I add some veg kurma to the kothu parotta that I make and that gives it a unique taste.
Yours looks delish.

Kanchana....we make a similar version to Kothu Parotta called Kuskara in marathi....only sans the pav bhaji masala...but this must taste super....A very well written touching post...Hats off to ur parents:)

2007-09-05T23:03:00.000-07:00

Nice post Kanchana.... Your parents sure have done a wonderful job... :) I love kothu parotta... I've only had the non-veg version, never had the recipe though... I can easily adapt this recipe... It looks lovely!

2007-09-05T00:21:00.000-07:00

hi Kanchana,
felt good reading your post...the one thing which came to my mind reading it was of my office manager, who is born in kenya, but lived all his life in the UK...but, basically, is an Asian...we guess he is an Indian, some say he is from Pakistan..and trust me, he never ever reveals it out. His wife too says, we are from Kenya..just to get embarresed to hear someone asking them

2007-09-04T19:29:00.000-07:00

Love the post. I am reminded of the times we were sent Indian food to school for lunch and people thought it was smelly. Now Indian food is one of the most popular cuisines in the world! How things change:) Can't wait to try kothu parotta!

Hi there,

This is a wonderful entry. Reminds me of a Chinese leftover dish. They fry cut leftover flat bread slices over onion and shredded cabbage, all mixed with a simple chili sauce made of chilies, garlic, salt and vinegar...

I love pav bhaji masala, so will make these, soon :)

2007-09-04T07:32:00.000-07:00

I can't read much of what you wrote, little hard to focus but Kottu Paratha dish I must try one day!:))

awww kanchana...this is a really heart warming post... i love what u wrote and what yur dad wrote... so true and so touching... i was born in india and now have lived 25 years out of india... but i feel i am so indian becoz my parents made me that way... and i look up to them to make my children as indian as possible even though my son may hardly ever stay in india... i love what yur dad said

2007-09-04T00:02:00.000-07:00

Quintessential madras road-side food :) I make this too, but instead of paratha I do it using Godumai (wheat) dosai following this recipe: http://dailygirlblog.blogspot.com/2006/09/chilli-paratha-baked-and-broiled.html

Using store-bought paratha is a good option - will try it out.

2007-09-03T09:31:00.000-07:00

That was beautiful. And what your Dad wrote, even more so! How true that our children get what we give - and if we don't "someone else will!" It is heartening to see you proud of your Indian values (and food!) while being Canadian (and now American?) at the same time.

Looking forward to have you share with us as you 'rediscover' India.

2007-09-02T23:21:00.000-07:00

BTW, forgot to add that Kothu parota is one of my husband's all time favourites. so when he desires to eat it next, I have ur blog to depend on...right

2007-09-02T23:20:00.000-07:00

Lovely recipe and lovely post. Nice to read abt ur parents' story.. I met one couple in the UK who have been there since abt 40 yrs.. Aunty once told me that when they first came to UK in the 60s, she had to make rotis from maida as no atta was available at that time.. Now ofcourse, we get even curry leaves and drumstick in the UK..
