For the paratha dough:

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Water (as needed to knead)
  • 1 tsp oil (optional)

For the filling:

  • 2 eggs (or 4 egg whites for a lighter option)

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 green chili, finely chopped (optional)

    In a bowl, mix whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add water and knead into a soft, pliable dough. Cover and rest for 20 minutes.
  2. Prepare the filling:
    Heat oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds (if using), then sauté onions and green chili until soft.
    Add chopped spinach and cook till wilted.
    Beat eggs with salt and pepper. Pour eggs into the pan with spinach-onion mix. Scramble until cooked but still moist. Set aside.

    Cook on a hot tava or non-stick pan, flipping and applying a little oil or ghee, until golden brown on both sides.

    Cut in half if desired and enjoy warm with a side of salad or chutney.

Tips:

  • You can add some grated cheese or paneer for extra richness.
  • Add spices like garam masala or chaat masala to the egg filling for more flavor.
  • For vegan option, skip eggs and use tofu scramble or mashed chickpeas with spinach.
