Instructions
Cut parotta into pieces or just tear them into pieces as shown in pictures.
Heat oil on a medium flame, add onions, and sauté the onions for several minutes.
Once the onions start turning to golden brown, add the chillies and ginger garlic paste and cook for a few minutes.
Now add tomato, bell pepper and turmeric powder and sauté till the raw smell goes from tomato and it turns mushy.
Add chilli powder, coriander powder, garam masala, pepper powder and salt, sauté till the raw smell leaves.
Add the chopped parotta and mix well into the mixture.
Now add the curry and mix well.
The contents should be minced now, so use a sharp end of a flat spatula or a stainless steel bowl. Do remember that ends should be sharp. Use a pounding action using the end of a flat spatula and mince it.
Cook on a medium flame for 3-4 minutes and toss the contents well.
Add chopped coriander leaves, garam masala, lemon juice and mix well. Turn off flame.
