Trivia
[Hardcore] 'Kothu' means 'to chop/smash' in Tamil. Walking South Indian night streets, the intense 'Clang-Clang-Clang!' metal sound heard from nowhere is this. Originally a 'recycle dish to deliciously eat leftover curry and hardened bread', but now a southern soul food youths line up at stalls specifically for.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] Scoop the gooey part that absorbed curry juice and the crispy burnt part baked on the griddle together with a spoon, washing it down with beer while biting raw onions!
