Egg and Mayo Paratha

Serves 2

Preparation Time : 20 mins
Cooking Time : 15-20 mins




Ingredients :
Wheat Flour - 1.5 Cups.
Fresh Eggs - 4 Nos.
Mayonnaise - 2 Tbsp.
Oil (for frying)
Salt
Black Pepper Powder
Water


Method :
1) Hard boil eggs.
2) Meanwhile knead the dough with 1.5 cups of wheat flour and retain the rest for later. Leave it covered with wet cloth for sometime.
3) Peel and mash eggs. Add mayonnaise, salt, black pepper powder as per taste.
4) Divide dough in small equal balls such that you have them in pairs. (two balls will be required for one paratha ).
5) With a rollin pin flatten the both balls in rotis of equal diameter. Place the egg and mayo mixture in centre of one roti and spread around leaving some gap at the edges. Place the other roti on top of it. Now fold the edges from first roti over the second to seal the paratha. Dab some water on the edges to seal if required. Once sealed roll the paratha and flatten it a bit more. Transfer it to a tawa and cook from both sides till cripsy and brown.
6) Repeat step 5 and make more paratha. Serve hot with dahi, ketchup or salsa.

Tips :
1) For perfect boiled eggs, heat water to a temperature when it just starts to boil. Add eggs, and cook for exactly 5 min. Remove from stove and cover with a lid and leave it standing for another 10 mins.
2) For crispier parathas add a teaspoon of oil while kneading the dough.
3) If you like it spicy spread some green chutney before spreading the filling.
