Method

1. 1In a mixing bowl, combine 200 g whole wheat flour, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tbsp oil. Gradually add 120 ml warm water and knead into a soft, smooth dough. Cover and rest for 15 minutes.
2. 2In a separate bowl, beat 2 eggs with a pinch of salt and 1 tbsp water until well blended.
3. 3Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each into a ball, then flatten into a disc. Use your thumb to make a small well in the center of each disc.
4. 4Scoop 1 tbsp of the beaten egg mixture into each well. Pull the edges of the dough up around the egg, sealing it completely. Roll the parcel into a round, flat disc.
5. 5Lightly dust the rolled-out paratha with flour. Heat a non-stick or cast iron tawa on medium-high heat.
6. 6Place one paratha on the hot tawa. Cook for 30 seconds until bubbles form. Flip and cook the other side for 30 seconds.
7. 7Brush the top side with 1 tsp oil. Flip and press gently with a spatula to help the layers puff up. Cook until golden brown spots appear on both sides.
8. 8Repeat with remaining parathas. Serve hot with yogurt, chutney, or a simple pickle.
