Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups Flour
  • ½ tablespoon Oil
  • ½ teaspoon Salt or, to taste
  • 1 cup Water Required to knead the soft dough
  • 4 Eggs
  • teaspoon Red Chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • Green chilies chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Onion chopped
  • 2 teaspoon Tomato chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Coriander chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Oil/butter/ghee to fry paratha and make an omelet

Instructions

Preparation of Paratha Dough

  • In a bowl, add flour, salt, and oil and crumble it properly.
  • Slowly add water and make a soft dough.
  • Cover it and keep it in a warm place for about 20 to 45 mins.

Preparation of Omelette

  • In a bowl, add eggs, red chili powder, black pepper powder, salt, chopped onion, chopped tomato and fresh coriander.
  • Beat the eggs properly.
  • In a frying pan, add 3 teaspoon of oil/ghee/butter and heat it up.
  • Add beaten eggs to the hot pan.
  • As the one side of omelet is done, flip it up and brown the other side.
  • Now take it out in a platter by placing kitchen pepper so it can absorb excess oil and keep it on a side to use in next step.

Paratha Making

  • Take a small portion of dough and roll it on your hand by making a small ball. Flat it through hands and roll it on rolling board (chakla) through rolling pin (belan).
  • As you make a big roti now place a butter/ghee on the surface and roll it through hands and make a spiral. For quick understanding, it’s better to watch the video to look at this step.
  • Now again make a big roti of spiral.
  • By repeating the same step, make another paratha.
  • Now keep the first paratha on rolling board and place an omelet over it.
  • Now place another paratha over the omelet and bind the edges properly. You can use water to bind the paratha edges.

Cooking/Frying

  • Now gently place the paratha on pre-heated tawa.
  • As the one side is done, flip it over.
  • Now place the oil/butter/ghee on the upper surface of paratha using brush or spoon.
  • In the same way, flip the paratha again and similarly pour oil on another side.
  • Again flip, until the nice golden color appears on both sides.
  • Now ‘egg paratha’ is absolutely ready to serve.
  • You can simply cut into pieces to make it easy to eat or roll it to make paratha roll.

Notes

  • Make the firm and soft dough of paratha and knead it properly for few minutes.
  • Give time to rest the dough as it will give the best result.
  • You can make the dough before a day to save time.
  • Don't use too much flour while rolling the dough as it can turn out with hard parathas.
  • While stuffing omelette in paratha, make sure it doesn't release excess oil otherwise the paratha will be oily after cooking.
  • If you are a beginner and want to avoid the breaking of stuffed eggs, put two parathas together and place the egg layer in the middle. Then roll it with a gentle hand.
  • For experts the egg can be stuffed in one paratha and then roll it to make it bigger. • Always place the paratha in a preheated griddle/skillet.
