Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Combine boneless chicken thighs with ginger garlic paste, ground cumin, coriander, garam masala, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and lime juice in a bowl; marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken, cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is fully cooked and slightly browned. Remove and slice into thin strips.

  3. 3

    Slice red onion and green bell pepper thinly. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp oil and sauté onion and bell pepper over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until softened.

  4. 4

    Beat 2 eggs in a bowl. Cook each paratha on a skillet over medium heat; pour a fourth of the beaten egg onto the surface, letting it set and adhere before flipping and browning slightly on the egg side.

  5. 5

    Assemble the roll: layer the cooked chicken and sautéed vegetables onto the egg side of each paratha, roll tightly, and wrap each roll partially in parchment or foil for easy handling. Serve warm.
