- Whisk this mixture well.
- Preparing the Parathas:
- On a rolling board, take a medium size ball of the dough.
- First we will make the parathas. Now you can make the Parathas in two ways…. One is the folding method and the other is the layer method.
- Or just make a simple chapati....
- You have to make the paratha one at a time and fry it.
- When the paratha is is getting cooked on the griddle, you prepare another paratha and so on.
- Heat the tava or griddle.
- Take the rolled paratha and keep it on the tava.
- Cook the parathas on a medium flame.
- Pour some oil or ghee on the sides of the paratha and let it cook till its ¾ cooked.
- Pour 4-5 tbsp of the egg mixture on the paratha which is half cooked.
- You should be able to see brown spots on the paratha on both sides.
- Spread the egg mixture on one side of the paratha with the help of a spoon.
- Pour some oil or ghee on the egg mixture as well.
- Turn over.
- Now the egg mixture is getting cooked below.
- Drizzle some oil or ghee on the sides.
- Flip and let the base cook for some seconds.
- Flip again and cook the egg mixture again.
- Once the egg paratha is cooked well… that is when it is browned well, the egg mixture has also browned and cooked – like an omlette.. than the parathas are done.
- Serve the Egg Parathas or Baida Roti hot.
