Ingredients

  • 300 g godamba roti (or leftover roti/paratha) cut into strips
  • 200 g chicken cooked and shredded
  • 2 large eggs
  • 150 g mixed vegetables thinly sliced
  • 1 green chilli chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

Start Cooking

Instructions

  • Heat coconut oil in a large wok or flat griddle. Add garlic and onion. Sauté until soft.
  • Add vegetables, curry powder, turmeric, and chili. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until wilted.
  • Push to one side. Crack in the eggs and scramble. Mix through.
  • Add the cooked chicken and stir-fry for another 2 minutes.
  • Add the roti pieces and mix thoroughly, chopping and tossing with two spatulas to combine everything evenly.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and optional soy sauce or lime juice. Serve hot!

Notes

💡 Notes:
  • You can substitute chicken with tofu, paneer, or beef.
  • Traditionally made on a hot griddle with metal spatulas — the clatter is part of the charm!
  • Leftover roti works perfectly and gives better texture.

🧊 Storage:
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet for best texture.
