My recipe of Egg paratha|How to make egg paratha

Egg paratha:




 Ingredients:

 

For the dough:

  • wheat flour- 2 cups
  •  water- 1/2 cup
  •  ghee or oil- 2 tsp
  • salt

For the egg mixture:

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 onion, chopped finely
  • 1 green chili, chopped finely
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro/coriander leaves
  • 1/2 inch ginger, chopped finely
  • salt

Method: 

  1. Mix together all the dry ingredients for the dough. Add some water and knead into a smooth and pliable dough. Add more water if the dough is dry or stiff.
  2. Break the eggs in a bowl. Add all the chopped onions, chilies, ginger, cilantro and salt to the eggs well. Whisk this mixture well.
  3. 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....
  4. 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.
  5. Heat the tava or griddle. Take the rolled paratha and keep it on the tava. Cook the parathas on a medium flame.
  6. Let the base of the paratha cook till 3/4th. Flip the paratha now.
  7. Apply some ghee on the top and let the paratha cook for a few seconds. Be liberal with ghee or oil.
  8. Again flip the paratha. The ghee applied on the top goes down and the base comes up now. Apply ghee on this top and drizzle some on the sides.
  9. Flip again. Pour 2 tbsp of the egg mixture on the paratha which is half cooked. Spread the egg mixture on the paratha with the help of a spoon. Pour some ghee on the egg mixture as well.
  10. Turn over. Now the egg mixture is getting cooked below. Drizzle some ghee on the sides.
  11. Flip and let the base cook for some seconds.
  12. 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.
  13. Serve the parathas hot.
