In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add hot water while stirring with a spoon until the mixture starts to come together.
Add the melted vegan butter and knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk together chickpea flour, kala namak, turmeric, and plant-based milk until smooth to create the vegan 'egg' mixture.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the green chili (if using) and cook for another 2 minutes. Mix in the coriander leaves and set aside.
Combine the sautéed onion mixture with the vegan 'egg' mixture and set aside.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each piece into a ball. Flatten each ball slightly with your palm.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out each dough ball into a thin circle about 8 inches in diameter.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place one rolled-out dough onto the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles begin to form.
Spread a quarter of the vegan 'egg' mixture evenly over the surface of the roti using a spoon.
Fold the sides of the roti to enclose the filling creating a square pocket, carefully pressing the edges to seal.
Gently flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Repeat the process for the remaining dough and vegan 'egg' mixture.
Serve hot, enjoy your Vegan Roti Telur Bawang with a side of curry or vegan yogurt.
