Traditional way to make a Kothu parotta is to use a preheated iron skillet or a heavy cast iron griddle specific for this purpose. The Parotta (multi layered bread) is cut or chopped with the use of two metal blades on wooden handles held on both hands on this sheet or skillet. The clashing of metal blades and the skillet creates a very distinctive musical sound which kind of announces the making of this Kothu to the passersby..So, here you go, the recipe of my all time favorite.
