Ingredients

  • 250 g All-Purpose Flour / Maida
  • 5 Egg
  • 1 Cucumber
  • 1 Onion
  • 3 Green Chili
  • 3 tablespoon Tomato Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Green Chili Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 6 tablespoon Vegetable Oil

Instructions

Making Dough

  • Let's start by preparing the dough. In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, and ½ teaspoon of salt, mixing them well.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the flour and mix until the texture resembles sand.
  • Gradually add water and knead the mixture into a soft dough. I used about 1 cup of water for this.
  • Continue kneading for around five minutes, then cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Prep Work

  • While the dough rests, let's prepare the vegetables.
  • Cut the cucumber and onion into thin, long strips (julienne) and mix them with lemon juice.
  • Set aside for 5 minutes.
  • Chop a green chili and add it to the cucumber and onion mixture.
  • If using capsicum, slice it too.

Making Egg Roll

  • Take the rested dough, knead it briefly for about a minute, and divide it into 5 equal portions.
  • Roll each portion into a smooth, round ball.
  • Take one dough ball and roll it out into a 6-inch diameter circle, making sure it's thin and even.
  • Heat a flat frying pan over medium heat.
  • Fry the paratha on one side for roughly one minute on low heat, until it becomes crispy and fully cooked from one side but semi-cooked on the other side.
  • Now, for the egg stacked paratha, In a bowl, crack one egg, add a pinch of salt, and whisk it lightly as if making an omelet.
  • Remove the semi cooked paratha from the pan and then pour the egg mixture over the oil.
  • Gently press the semi-cooked side of the paratha onto the semi-cooked egg, either with your hand or a spatula. Cook for about a minute on low heat to make the paratha crispy.
  • To assemble the egg roll, lay an egg paratha on a plate. Arrange a horizontal line of cucumber, onion, and green chili mix across one side. Drizzle with tomato sauce and green chili sauce.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice and any seasoning you like.
  • Starting from the filled side, roll up the paratha tightly. Wrap it in a paper towel, twisting the ends to secure it.
  • Repeat the process to make the remaining egg rolls.

Notes

  • I left out the green chili and chili sauce for my daughter's egg roll to make it kid-friendly.
  • For a richer flavor, try using two or three eggs per roll.
  • You can also add a dash of black pepper as seasoning.
