Egg Paratha Recipe/Mughalai Egg Paratha Recipe

Egg Paratha is one of my kids' favorite dish and I often make it for them as after school snack. Like other Parathas this Egg Paratha also doesn't require any side dish just Hot & Sweet Sauce or Ketchup is enough. I made a simple version of Egg mix with some onion, tomato & Chillies for this paratha but you can also add any desired vegetables & cheese to it.

Either way this gonna tastes yummy and am sure kids will love it. The original version of Mughal Paratha is made using All Purpose Flour and also shallow fried but here, I used Whole Wheat Flour and tawa roasted with little oil and butter. Cooking the Paratha in medium heat oil is necessary for this method and also use oil on each side you cook. The technique(folding the paratha to pockets) may look difficult but try it its really easy. If still you find it difficult to make pockets you can also make it like simple Egg Paratha, like this. Now off to the recipe..
