Follow each step to make the recipe successfully.
In a bowl, add 1 cup of whole wheat flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add 1/4 to 1/3 cup of water, mixing until a rough dough forms. the dough until it's soft and pliable. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and again until the dough is smooth and elastic. Let the dough rest for to allow the gluten to develop.
While the dough rests, crack 2 eggs into a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of chopped coriander leaves, 1/4 cup of chopped tomatoes, 1-2 chopped green chilies, 1/4 cup of chopped onions, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
Divide the rested dough into 2-3 orange-sized balls. Take one dough ball, dip it lightly in dry whole wheat flour, and roll it out into a thin circle, about 1mm thick. Sprinkle a little dry flour over the rolled dough, then add 1 teaspoon of oil to the center and spread it evenly. Fold the circle in half, then fold it again into a quarter (triangle shape). Lightly dredge the folded dough in flour and roll it out again into a triangular paratha, ensuring even thickness.
Heat a tawa (griddle) over medium heat. Transfer the rolled paratha to the hot tawa. Cook for until small bubbles appear on the surface. Gently flip the paratha and cook for another on the other side. Add 1 teaspoon of oil to the top side and spread it evenly with a spatula. Flip the paratha again.
Once the paratha is lightly cooked and a pocket has formed between the layers, gently open the pocket with a spatula or tongs. Pour about 2 tablespoons (one ladle) of the prepared egg mixture into the pocket, pushing it gently inside. Rest the paratha back on the tawa and cook on a low flame until the egg begins to puff up and cook. Push any leaked egg back into the pocket. Once the egg mixture's color changes and becomes lighter, add another 1 teaspoon of oil to the outside of the paratha and spread it.
Flip the paratha one last time and cook until it's nice, crisp, and golden brown on both sides, and the egg is fully cooked inside. Transfer the egg paratha to a plate. Cut it into smaller triangles. Serve hot with tomato ketchup or your preferred chutney.
