Ingredients:

• For the Dough:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup warm water (additional as needed)
• For the Egg Filling:
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 green chili, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to your spice preference)
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro (optional)
• For Cooking:
  • Vegetable oil or ghee

Instructions:

1. Craft the Dough: In a spacious bowl, combine the flour and salt. Pour in the oil and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add warm water while kneading until you achieve a soft and pliable dough. Cover it and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Filling: Whisk together the eggs, chopped onion, green chili (if using), coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt in a bowl. Add cilantro (optional) and blend well.
3. Assemble the Parotas: Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each into a small circle. Gently place a spoonful of the egg mixture in the center of the circle.
4. Fold and Roll: Carefully fold the dough over the filling, encasing it completely. Seal the edges by pinching them together. Dust the parota with flour and roll it out again into a flatbread, roughly 5-6 inches in diameter.
5. Cook to Perfection: Heat a tawa or griddle over medium heat. Brush it with oil or ghee. Gently place the parota on the tawa and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Press gently with a spatula to puff up the layers.
6. Savor the Flavor: Enjoy your hot egg parotas with your favorite chutney, raita, or pickle.

Tips for Success:

• For extra flaky layers, brush the parota with oil or ghee before rolling it out.
• Feel free to adjust the spice level in the egg filling to your preference.
• You can add other chopped vegetables like tomatoes, bell peppers, or spinach to the filling for variety.
• If you don’t have a tawa or griddle, cook the parotas in a non-stick pan.

With this recipe and a little practice, you’ll be mastering restaurant-worthy egg parotas in no time! So, get ready to tantalize your taste buds and embark on a delightful culinary adventure in your own kitchen.
