MOGLAI PARATHA

INGREDIENTS

Flour - 250 + 50 grams
Sunflower oil - 1 cup
Eggs - 4
Onion - 3 medium sized (chopped finely)
Green chilies - 2-3 (chopped finely)
Minced meat - 50 grams
Salt - 1-2 tsp

PROCEDURE

Mix 1 tsp salt and 5 tsp oil in the 250 grams flour. Using water little by little knead into a hard dough. Divide the dough into egg sized portions. Shape them into balls slightly flattened. Dust the rolling board , pin and dough ball with flour. Roll out into very thin rounds ( about 12 inch in diameter) . Put a large frying pan on high flame. Put the rolled round on the frying pan. After 1 minute turn over and heat the other side of the rolled round for 30 seconds. In this way roll as many as rounds and heat them in same way. Keep them aside.
Chop the onions and chilies. Break 1 egg and beat it with 1 pinch of salt. Heat 2 tsp of oil in the frying pan. When oil just smokes put over a rolled round and lower the flame. Pour the beaten egg in the center of the round. Spread the egg a little by using a spoon. Sprinkle 1 tsp of minced meat in the egg. Sprinkle a tsp of salt too. Now sprinkle 2 tsp of chopped onion and a pinch of chopped chilies. Now slowly fold in the 4 sides of the round one by one such that the round now resembles a square shape. Let cook on slow fire till the egg is done. Slowly and carefully turn over to the other side. Raise flame and add 1 tsp or more of oil. Lower flame. Cook till both sides are golden brown. In this way cook all the parathas.
Your muglai paratha is ready. This is mainly served as a snack but can also be used as a main dish. It is very easy and quick to prepare. It is sure to linger in ones memory.
