Ingredients
For dough:
- 1 cup wheat flour (atta)
- Warm water for kneading
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil/ghee
For egg:
- 2 eggs
- 1 small onion (finely, chopped)
- 2 green chilli (finely, chopped)
- 1 pinch of red chilli powder
- 1 pinch of turmeric powder
- 1 pinch of coriander powder

How To Make Egg Paratha?
- First, you need to knead the dough, take a bowl, add dough ingredients and knead a soft dough. Set and apply some oil to the dough surface. Cover the bowl with a wet muslin cloth for at least 7-10 minutes.
- Take a bowl, break eggs in it, and beat this with chopped onions, green chillies, and spices like red chilli, turmeric, coriander, black pepper powder, salt, and coriander leaves.
- Combine all the ingredients, as they are the hero of this paratha.
- Now take a small portion from the dough, sprinkle some flour on the rolling area and roll the paratha as plain paratha with some ghee inside the layers.
- Now heat a tawa or griddle until it is hot enough.
- Place the paratha and cook it slightly from one side. Flip and slightly cook from the other side as well. It means half cook the paratha.
- Quickly remove the paratha from the tawa to a plate. Now drizzle some ghee or oil on the taw and pour the beaten egg mixture.
- Don’t flip the egg; gently stick a paratha on an egg mixture. Don’t flip the egg unless it will not stick on a layer of paratha.
- Pour some oil, and flip the paratha, press it gently. Cook on both sides. Until the egg turns crispy or golden brown.
Your egg paratha is ready; serve warm with chutney or vegetable salad.
