Ingredients
- Basic Chapati/Paratha Dough – click here for the recipe
- Eggs – 1 for every 2 Paratha
- Tomatoes – Finely chopped (as needed, to taste)
- Onions – Finely chopped (as needed, to taste)
- Cilantro – Finely chopped (as needed, to taste)
- Green Chilies – Finely chopped (as needed, to taste)
- Salt – to taste
- Any or all of the following (to taste):
- Red Chili Powder
- Chaat Masala
- Coriander Powder
- Cumin Powder
- For the Cheese version, add any kind of shredded cheese (preferably one that melts). For kids, you can add only cheese to the beaten eggs.
Instructions
- Beat Eggs and mix all of the above ingredients (except dough) together with the beaten
- eggs. Keep aside.
- Roll out a golf ball size portion of dough into a 4-5 inch disc. Dip into dry flour to prevent it from sticking to the surface.
- Coat a thin layer of oil on the disc and sprinkle dry flour onto it.
- Fold the disc into a semi-circle, coat another thin layer of oil and sprinkle dry flour on it.
- Fold the semi-circle into a triangle, dip it into dry flour and roll it out into a larger triangle.
- Place triangle onto a hot tava and flip it once bubbles appear.
- Wait another 20-30 seconds until it starts to puff up. With a butter knife, gently open up the top layer of the triangle to form a pocket.
- Pour in approx. ½ egg worth of mixture into the pocket and close it.
- Allow it to cook on low flame for 20-30 seconds and gently flip it without letting all of the egg mixture spill out. A little will ooze out but that’s ok.
- Cook once again, pressing slightly until all of the raw egg is cooked inside.
- Serve immediately or keep in an insulated container until ready to serve.
- Tastes great with Ketchup or chutney.
