Egg Paratha
A stuffed griddle bread from the north Indian breakfast canon — crisp in places, pillowy in others, with a savoury egg heart. About 45 minutes from fridge to table.

Roll a ball of dough into a small disc, cup the filling inside, seal, and roll out gently — flour lightly so nothing bursts.

Roast on a hot tawa until freckled, flip, then brush with ghee and cook until golden spots bloom on both sides.

Stack them in a cloth to stay soft; serve with cold yogurt or pickle.
Chef's tip
Softer the dough, softer the paratha — go past comfortable.
