– 1 teaspoon red chili powder
– Salt to taste

### Instructions/Steps

3. **Sauté Onions and Spices**: Add the chopped onion and green chilies to the skillet. Sauté until the onions turn translucent. Then, stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

4. **Add Vegetables**: Toss in the finely chopped mixed vegetables and season with salt, red chili powder, and garam masala. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.

5. **Mix in Parotta**: Add the shredded parotta to the skillet. Mix well to combine everything. Ensure the parotta is thoroughly coated with the spices and vegetables. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously.
