Mughlai Egg Paratha
Egg and mince sealed inside dough, then fried flat. A whole meal in one bread.
Ingredients
- 2 cups maida
- 4 eggs
- 1 onion, very finely chopped
- 3 green chillies
- 1/2 cup coriander
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Oil to shallow fry
Method
- Dough: maida, salt, oil and water. Knead soft and smooth, rest 1 hour — it needs to be stretchy enough to roll paper-thin.
- Beat the eggs with onion, chillies, coriander, garam masala, pepper and salt.
- Roll one ball as thin as you possibly can into a large sheet. You should almost see through it.
- Pour a quarter of the egg mix in the centre, then fold all four sides in like an envelope, sealing the edges with water.
- Slide seam side down into shallow hot oil. Fry 3 minutes a side till golden and crisp.
- Cut into squares. Ketchup and raw onion.
