Baida Paratha - Indian Bread stuffed with Egg


















My toddler loves chapati (Indian bread) but eggs not so much.  So, I thought of this idea to make a all-in-one paratha (stuffed bread). It was very easy to make and he loved it as well.

Ingredients:
2 Boiled egs, mashed
1 cup Wheat flour
1/4 tsp each of cumin powder and turmeric powder
1/8 tsp each of chilli powder and coriander powder
1tsp of Chaat masala or Tava Fry masala
Some fresh cilantro or fresh mint, finely chopped
Salt to taste

Method:
Knead the dough with some salt, water, and oil as though you were making chapatis. I used wheat flour because it is much healthier than maida or all purpose flour. Boil the eggs and mash them really well with your fingers until they turn almost powdery. Add all the remaining ingredients and mash well.

Make small balls out of the dough as though you were rolling a chapati or tortilla. Put the egg filling in and fold in the entire chapati to the center. Roll it out gently using some flour. Cook the paratha on a skillet drizziling oil or melted butter or ghee. Flip the paratha a few times so that the flour is cooked all the way.

Happy Eating!
