Cooking steps
  1. 1

    In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup whole wheat flour and 0.25 tsp salt; gradually add water and knead for 5 minutes to form a smooth, firm dough. Cover and rest for at least 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Finely chop 0.25 cup onion and 1 green chili. In a separate bowl, beat 2 eggs with the chopped onion, green chili, 0.25 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp black pepper until well mixed.

  3. 3

    Divide the rested dough into two equal balls. Roll each into a 7-inch circle on a lightly floured surface.

  4. 4

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place one rolled paratha on the pan and cook for 1 minute until bubbles appear. Flip the paratha, reduce heat to low, and carefully pour half of the egg mixture onto the top. Quickly spread the egg evenly over the surface.

  5. 5

    Gently press and cook for 2 minutes, then drizzle or brush a little extra oil around the edges. Flip the paratha to cook the egg side for 2–3 minutes on medium-low heat until set and golden. Repeat with the second paratha and egg mixture. Serve hot.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient in this Egg Paratha recipe?
The star ingredients in this Egg Paratha are whole wheat flour and eggs. The flour creates the paratha base, while eggs bring richness and protein, making the dish both hearty and distinctly flavorful.
Q. At what point should I add the egg mixture for best results?
Pour the beaten egg mixture onto the partially cooked paratha after flipping the dough and lowering the heat. This allows the egg to cook gently and adhere to the bread, ensuring the texture remains moist but fully set.
Q. How do I avoid overcooking or undercooking the eggs in this paratha?
Keep the heat at medium-low once you add the egg. If the pan is too hot, the egg may toughen or burn; too low and it might stay runny. Cook 2–3 minutes per side after adding the filling, ensuring the egg is just cooked and the paratha is golden brown.
Q. How many calories and how much protein does each serving have?
Each serving contains about 340 kcal and 15g of protein, making it a well-balanced choice for those focusing on protein and calorie control.
