Instructions
To make Parata Filling
- In a pan, add 1 tsp oil, 1 chopped onions, 2 chopped garlic cloves and saute it well until onions become translucent.
- Next, add 1/2 cup of chopped vegetables and mix it well until they soften. I have added capsicums and beans here.
- Add 1 chopped tomatoes and mix it well.
- Add 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, 1 tsp garam masala, 1/2 tsp chilli powder, 1/2 tsp coriander powder, salt and cook it well until the tomatoes become mushy.
- In a bowl, break open 2 eggs and add the vegetable mix
- Mix it well and keep it aside.
To make Parata
- Mix 1 cup of wheat flour, salt and water and get the dough ready. Rest it for 15 mins.
- Roll out a thin and big sized chapathi.
- In a tawa, add 1 tsp oil, place the chapathi. And immediately pour 2 tbsp of egg-veggie mixture inside it.
- Next, immediately fold both the opposite edges of the dough.
- And next, close the other pair of the opposite edges.
- Cook both the sides until it becomes roasted.
- The Paratas will usually puff up when the eggs are cooked. And you can remove it at this stage. It is done.
Notes
- Replace wheat flour with maida to make the original Parata recipe; I used wheat flour to make the healthier version :D
- Make sure to quickly fold the edges after pouring the egg mixture, else it won't stick properly if the dough gets cooked.
