Rip the paratha with your hands into medium sized chunks. Set aside.
Meat Curry
In a large wok or cast iron pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is heated, add the mustard seeds, crushed chili, and curry leaves. Cook until the mustard seeds begin to crackle. Add the ginger and garlic and saute for another minute.
Add the onion, tomato, salt, harissa powder, turmeric powder, cardamom power, cinnamon, and coriander powder cook until the tomato and onion have softened. Add the meat and water, cover and cook until the meat is ready.
Scrambled Eggs
In a small saucepan, add the butter. Once melted, add in the eggs, water, and salt and pepper to taste. Scramble the eggs until they're just cooked— you don't want to overcook them!
For the Kothu:
In a large wok, add the olive oil and heat for a minute. Add the onion, carrots, green onion, bell pepper, coriander powder, cayenne pepper, and teriyaki sauce and stir fry until the vegetables are just beginning to soften.
Add the meat and scrambled eggs and give that another stir. Add the shredded paratha and give it another good toss. If extra liquid is needed you can add some of the gravy from the meat curry.
Cook for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and enjoy warm!
