Egg Paratha instructions
- Whisk the eggs. Add the remaining omelette ingredients, whisk and set aside.Mix 1/2 cup water, 1 cup flour, 1/4 teaspoons salt. Add 1/2 teaspoon oil and knead about 5 minutes into a smooth dough. Divide the dough into four portions and shape them into round balls..

- Fold one third of this rectangular layered dough from one side.Next, fold over from the other side to make a square shaped layered dough portion.Roll it out into a 6 inch square layered bread, using a little flour for dusting as needed..
- Heat a skillet at medium setting. The skillet is ready for cooking when you can feel the heat while holding your palm 3 inches above the skillet. Place the layered flat bread and allow it to cook for about 1 to 2 minutes. Flip it over and cook another 1 to 2 minutes until light golden brown..
