Steps For Egg Paratha Recipe

Step 1- Dough Preparation

• Measure the Flour: Start by measuring out 2 cups of whole wheat flour (atta) and placing it in a mixing bowl.

• Add a Pinch of Salt: Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the flour. Salt is added for flavor, so use it according to your taste preference.

• Knead the Dough: Gradually add water to the flour while kneading it. Start with about 1/2 cup of water, and add more as needed. Use your fingers to mix the water into the flour, and continue kneading until a dough begins to form.

• Knead Well: Knead the dough thoroughly for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, you can sprinkle a bit more flour to make it manageable. If it's too dry, add a little more water.

• Rest the Dough: Once the dough is well-kneaded and smooth, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out. Let it rest for about 15-20 minutes. This resting period helps the dough relax and become easier to work with.

• Dough is Ready: After resting, your dough is ready for making cheese parathas. It should be soft and pliable, making it easier to roll out and stuff with the cheese filling.

Now that you have prepared the dough, you can proceed with making Egg Filling for Egg Paratha Recipe as mentioned above.

Step 2- Egg Stuffing Preparation

• Crack and Beat the Eggs: In a bowl, crack the desired number of eggs you want for your egg parathas. Typically, 1-2 eggs per paratha is a good starting point.

• Season with Salt: Add a pinch of salt to the eggs. You can adjust the amount of salt to your taste preferences.

• Add Black Pepper: Sprinkle some black pepper powder into the eggs. The amount can be adjusted according to your spice preference.

• Optional Ingredients: At this point, you can add any optional ingredients you like to enhance the flavour of the egg mixture. Some popular choices include finely chopped onions, green chilies, tomatoes, and fresh coriander leaves. Add them according to your taste.

• Mix Well: Use a fork or whisk to beat the eggs thoroughly, ensuring that the seasonings and optional ingredients are well incorporated.

• Spices (Optional): If you enjoy a bit of heat, you can add a pinch of red chili powder to the egg mixture for some extra spice. Adjust the amount based on your spice tolerance.

• Prepare for Filling: Once your egg mixture is well-mixed and seasoned to your liking, it's ready to be used as the filling for your paratha.

You can now use this prepared egg mixture to fill your paratha while cooking. Follow the steps for making egg parathas, spreading a portion of this mixture on the paratha dough and cooking it until the egg is fully set. Enjoy your flavourful egg-stuffed parathas!

Step 3- Final Preparations

• Roll Out the Dough: After the dough has rested for about 15-20 minutes, divide it into equal-sized portions and roll each portion into a ball.

• Flatten a Dough Ball: Take one of the dough balls and flatten it slightly with your hands to make a small disc.

• Roll the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a small circle or oval, approximately 6-7 inches in diameter. Make sure it's not too thin, as you'll be filling it with the egg mixture.

• Heat the Pan: Heat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium-high heat and let it get hot.

• Place the Dough on the Pan: Carefully place the rolled-out dough onto the hot griddle or pan.

• Cook One Side: Cook for about 30 seconds, or until you see small bubbles forming on the surface of the dough.

• Add the Egg Mixture: Reduce the heat to low and pour a portion of the prepared egg mixture onto the partially cooked paratha.

• Spread the Egg: Quickly spread the egg mixture evenly over the paratha using a spatula or the back of a spoon.

• Cook the Egg Paratha: Allow the egg mixture to cook until it's partially set, then carefully flip the paratha over.

• Add Oil or Ghee: To make the paratha crispy and flavorful, spread some ghee, oil, or butter around the edges of the paratha while it's cooking.

• Cook Until Golden: Continue cooking until both sides of the paratha are golden brown, and the egg is fully cooked. You may press down on the edges with a spatula to ensure even cooking.

• Remove and Serve: Once the egg paratha is cooked to your liking, remove it from the pan and place it on a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining dough and egg mixture.

Your egg parathas are now ready to be served hot. Enjoy them with yogurt, pickle, or any sauce of your choice.
