Kothu Parotta Scramble is a loved South Indian street food known for its bold spices, rhythmic chopping sound, and aroma. It is traditionally made with flaky parottas, shredded and tossed with masala. This homemade version uses wholesome whole-wheat parottas prepared with Aashirvaad Shudh Chakki Atta for added nutrition and softness.
Recognised as the leading packaged atta brand in India since 2002, Aashirvaad Shudh Chakki Atta is prepared from selected whole-wheat grains sourced directly from farmers. It is ground using modern chakki technology with 0% maida and 100% whole wheat, following a four-stage process that helps retain quality and nutrition. The atta also helps maintain suitable moisture in the dough, resulting in soft and fluffy parottas that shred beautifully for this scramble. The result is a hearty, flavour-packed comfort dish perfect for lunch or dinner.

Step 1: Prepare The Dough
In a large bowl, combine Aashirvaad Shudh Chakki Atta, salt, sugar, and oil. Gradually add water and knead into a soft dough. Thanks to its 100% whole wheat composition and moisture-retaining quality, the dough becomes smooth and pliable. Cover and rest for 15 minutes.

Step 2: Make The Parottas
Divide the dough into equal portions. Roll each portion thin, apply a light layer of oil, fold into layers, and roll again to form parottas. Cook on a hot tawa until golden brown on both sides. Lightly crush them while warm to enhance flakiness. Allow to cool and shred into bite-sized pieces.
