Ingredients

• 500 grams all-purpose flour
• 250 milliliters water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 100 milliliters ghee or cooking oil
• 4 large eggs
• 1 medium, finely chopped onion
• 2 finely chopped green chili
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped coriander leaves

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt.

Step 2

Gradually add water while kneading the dough until it is soft and pliable.

Step 3

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each into a ball.

Step 4

Grease each ball with a little ghee or oil, cover with a cloth, and let them rest for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

Meanwhile, prepare the egg mixture by whisking together the eggs, finely chopped onion, green chili, black pepper, and coriander leaves in a separate bowl.

Step 6

Take one dough ball and roll it into a thin circular sheet using a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface.

Step 7

Heat a flat pan or skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of ghee or oil.

Step 8

Place the rolled dough on the pan and cook for about 30 seconds until you see bubbles forming.

Step 9

Flip the dough, pour a portion of the egg mixture onto one half of the dough, and fold the other half over it to seal.

Step 10

Press the edges with a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and the egg is fully cooked.

Step 11

Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls and egg mixture.

Step 12

Serve the egg prata hot with a side of curry or chutney.
