Parathas are whole-what Indian flat-bread, a staple bread in North Inda. It can be made plain or stuffed with different nutritious fillings. Egg Paratha is one of the wonderful recipe for Breakfast. It is a favorite at our home and I make very frequently. The hot Parathas just off the stove top with a light smeading of ghee on top, tastes heavenly with raitha, pickles or sauces. It is prepared with the combination of beaten egg, wheat flour, salt and spices. Prepare authentic Egg Paratha by following this easy recipe and enjoy for breakfast/ brunch or any time you wish..:)
