How to Make Flaky Egg Parota

1. Prepare the Dough:
   • Mix 2 cups of maida (all-purpose flour) with ¾ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon oil.
   • Gradually add about ¾ cup plus 1 tablespoon of water until a soft, smooth dough forms.
   • Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20–30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
   • Beat 3 eggs in a bowl.
   • Add 4 tablespoons finely chopped onion, 2 chopped green chilies, 2 tablespoons chopped coriander, and ½ teaspoon salt.
   • Mix well and set aside.
3. Roll and Layer the Parota:
   • Divide the rested dough into 4 equal portions. Keep unused portions covered.
   • Roll one portion into a thin disk on a floured surface.
   • Brush the surface with oil, dust lightly with flour, and make two slits at the top and bottom edges.
   • Fold in the sides, adding a little oil and flour between each fold, and shape it into a layered square.
4. Dip and Cook:
   • Dip the square into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly.
   • Heat a lightly oiled pan and carefully place the coated parota onto it.
   • Cook for about 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
   • Serve hot with chutney, raita, or your favorite sauce.

Expert Tips

• Use a non-stick pan or cast iron skillet for even cooking.
