CHILLI PAROTTA – Easy dinner recipes

Chilli parotta was in my try list for a long time. My sister told me to try long back but that time i dint have any idea about its taste & look.Recently i tasted this dish in some restaurants , did research  & finally i tried at home to match the taste of chilli parotta i had in restaurants.I rarely buy ready made parotas as my hubby is not much fond of them.So far i have bought them only thrice. First two times to try parotta salna recipe & this time to make chilli parotta. We loved it and planning to make this for my guests too . I made it little spicy to suit its name. If u wanna make it less spicy , reduce the quantity of red chilli powder OR add lime juice before serving.. Do try this simple ,colourful , easy dinner recipe & let me know how u liked it …
