## Ingredients List
– **For the Mutton Marinade:**
– 500g mutton, cut into small pieces
– 1 cup yogurt
– 2 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
– 2 tsp red chili powder
– 1 tsp turmeric powder
– 1 tsp garam masala
– Salt to taste

– **For the Kothu Parotta:**
– 4-5 flaky parottas (store-bought or homemade)
– 2 medium onions, finely chopped
– 2 green chilies, slit
– 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, and bell peppers)
– 2 tbsp oil (preferably coconut or vegetable oil)
– Fresh coriander leaves, chopped, for garnish
– Lemon wedges, for serving

## Instructions/Steps
1. **Marinate the Mutton:** In a bowl, combine mutton pieces, yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 1-2 hours, preferably overnight in the refrigerator for better flavor.

2. **Cook the Mutton:** In a pressure cooker or a heavy-bottomed pot, heat 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the marinated mutton and sauté for about 5 minutes. Add enough water to cover the mutton and pressure cook for 15-20 minutes (or 30 minutes in an open pot), until the mutton is tender.

3. **Prepare the Parotta:** While the mutton is cooking, if using store-bought parottas, heat them on a tawa until they are golden brown and slightly crispy. If making homemade parottas, prepare them according to your recipe.

4. **Combine the Elements:** In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil. Add chopped onions and green chilies; sauté until the onions turn translucent. Stir in the mixed vegetables and cook for a few more minutes until they are tender.

5. **Add the Cooked Mutton:** Once the mutton is cooked and tender, add it along with the cooked gravy to the pan with onions and vegetables. Mix well and let it simmer for a few more minutes.

6. **Shred the Parotta:** Tear the cooked parottas into small pieces and add them to the mutton and vegetable mixture. Stir everything together to ensure the parotta absorbs the flavors and gravy. Cook for another 5 minutes.

7. **Serve:** Remove from heat. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.

## Cooking Time
– **Preparation Time:** 10 minutes (excluding marination time)
– **Cooking Time:** 40-50 minutes (marination + cooking)
– **Total Time:** Approximately 1 hour (plus optional marination time)

## Serving Size
This Mutton Kothu Parotta recipe serves about 3-4 people.

## Tips and Variations
– **Spice Levels:** Adjust the quantity of green chilies and red chili powder based on your heat preference.
– **Vegetarian Option:** You can use paneer or mixed vegetables in place of mutton for a delicious vegetarian Kothu Parotta.
– **Add Nuts:** Enhance the texture by sprinkling in some roasted cashews or peanuts.
– **Coconut Addition:** For a richer flavor, add freshly grated coconut while sautéing the vegetables.
