Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams all-purpose flour
- 250 milliliters water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 100 milliliters ghee or cooking oil
- 4 large eggs
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 2 finely chopped green chili
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped coriander leaves
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt.
Gradually add water while kneading the dough until it is soft and pliable.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
Grease each ball with a little ghee or oil, cover with a cloth, and let them rest for at least 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the egg mixture by whisking together the eggs, finely chopped onion, green chili, black pepper, and coriander leaves in a separate bowl.
Take one dough ball and roll it into a thin circular sheet using a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface.
Heat a flat pan or skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of ghee or oil.
Place the rolled dough on the pan and cook for about 30 seconds until you see bubbles forming.
Flip the dough, pour a portion of the egg mixture onto one half of the dough, and fold the other half over it to seal.
Press the edges with a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and the egg is fully cooked.
Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls and egg mixture.
Serve the egg prata hot with a side of curry or chutney.
