Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.75 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 small Onion, finely chopped
- 1 small Green chili, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 4 tablespoons Oil or ghee
- 1 tablespoon Butter (optional)
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix whole wheat flour, salt, and water gradually to form a soft dough. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.
In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and whisk until combined. Add finely chopped onion, green chili, coriander leaves, red chili powder, and turmeric powder. Mix well and set aside.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Lightly dust a rolling surface with flour. Roll out each ball of dough into a circular shape (approximately 8 inches in diameter).
Heat a skillet or tawa over medium heat and place one rolled-out dough circle on it. Cook for 30-40 seconds on one side until light bubbles appear, then flip over.
Pour one-fourth of the egg mixture evenly over the semi-cooked side of the paratha and fold the edges to secure it in place.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of oil or ghee around the edges and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side over medium-low heat until golden brown and fully cooked.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls and egg mixture.
Serve the egg paratha hot, optionally brushed with a small amount of butter, and enjoy it with yogurt, pickle, or chutney.
