Anda paratha


I had some leftover hard boiled eggs the other day and wasn't in the mood for your regular egg salad. So I did my own variation of it and put it in stuffed paratha for breakfast. It turned out pretty good, the egg filling was spicy enough to hold its own. I didn't even need dahi with it. Just a dollop of melting butter.

Paratha stuffing

3-4 hard boiled eggs
1 bay leaf
1 small onion
1 clove garlic grated
1 green chilli, chopped fine
a little coriander leaves, chopped fine
a little ketchup
salt-pepper to taste
1 teaspoon garam masala
2 pinches chaat masala

Boil the eggs, peel them and set them aside to cool. When they are completely cool, grate them. In a pan heat some oil, add the bay leaf and the onion. Cook the onion for a short time till it turns translucent. Try not to overcook it. Just a little bit so that its not completely raw in the stuffing. Add the grated ginger and let it cook slightly. Let the onions-ginger cool. Take the bay leaf out and add it to the grated eggs. Add the rest of the spices, green chilli, coriander leaves, salt-pepper and ketchup. I like the tomatoey taste but if it makes the stuffing difficult to roll, leave it out and serve ketchup later. Put the stuffing in the paratha dough and carefully roll it out.
Serve hot.
