Today’s kottu recipe is Egg Kottu, which I am bringing to Fiesta Friday#28.
This week’s A.R.Rahman feature starts with Rajiv Menon’s movie Kandu Kondain Kandu Kondain (translation: I have seen, 2000) based on the Jane Austen novel ‘Sense and Sensibility’ and starring Tabu, Aishwarya Rai, Ajith Kumar, Mammooty and Abbas. The playback singer is Shankar Mahadevan who won a national award for this song.
The second song is from Ashutosh Gowariker’s acclaimed movie Lagaan (translation: Land tax, 2001) starring Aamir Khan. This song is sung by playback singers Asha Bhosle, Udit Narayan and Vaishali Samant.
The last song clip is from K.Balachander’s movie Paarthale Paravasam (translation: Ecstatic over a glance, 2001) starring Madhavan and Simran. The playback singers are Srinivas and Sadhana Sargam.
Hope you enjoy the music as well as the kottu!

All the songs are just awesome 🙂 love Rahman’s collection… Egg kottu looks fabulous Ahila !!
Thank you, Malar 🙂 Have a lovely weekend!
I am sure I never had Egg Kottu, but this sounds fab. Happy FF to you. 🙂
Thanks, Jhuls… when you visit Sri Lanka, that is definitely something you need to try out from a street or restaurant! Happy Fiesta to you too! 🙂
Beautiful, I love the bright warm colors palette of the second video. Awesome songs. Thank you Ahila. The Atta roti looks like Algerian Maarek and Mhadjeb; love your Egg Kottu. Have a wonderful weekend 🙂
Thank you 🙂 If you have not watched Lagaan yet, Linda, I highly recommend watching it. It is a lovely movie that was nominated for the Academy award for best foreign language film in 2001. With regard to the egg kottu, the egg is directly scrambled on the pan with the chopped roti and vegetables on the street but my mother prefers making it omelette like first and then shredding it and mixing it. Have a wonderful weekend as well! 🙂
Delish!!
Thank you, Susan! 🙂 Have a lovely weekend!
