Recipe Note: For a perfectly crispy crust on your stuffed paratha, it's crucial to knead the dough firmly. If the dough is kneaded too loosely, it can result in a soggy texture, which is undesirable for this recipe.

An essential technique comes into play when you pour the beaten egg mixture onto the paratha. The paratha should be rolled out thinly, and you need to be quick in folding the dough before spreading the mixture.

Feel free to get creative by adding chopped boiled eggs, spring onions, green peas, or any veggies of your choice; however, for a traditional take, simplicity is key. I recommend using fine flour for the parathas. If this is not readily available, you can substitute with maida (all-purpose flour) or a mix of wheat flour.

I used minced chicken seasoned with a few spices, but you can easily switch things up with minced mutton, beef, or lamb, depending on your preference. Additionally, you can adjust the spice levels to suit your taste.

Step-by-Step Instructions to Prepare Chicken Egg Paratha:

Cooking the Mince:

Begin by heating oil in a pan. Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for about 1 minute, until aromatic. Add the minced chicken and cook until it changes colour, ensuring it's well-coated with the ginger-garlic paste. Next, add turmeric powder and salt to taste.

Feel free to customise the flavour by incorporating more spices such as red chilli powder, chopped green chillies, or black pepper powder.

Once the mince is well-roasted, add a little water to help tenderise it, and let it simmer for about 10 minutes or until the mince is cooked through.

When the water evaporates, give it a good stir and turn off the heat. Allow it to cool completely.

Kneading the Dough:

In a large bowl, combine fine flour, ghee, and a pinch of salt.

Mix the ingredients well and knead into a medium-hard dough. Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Making the Paratha:

Divide the rested dough into equal portions and roll each one into a small ball, then flatten slightly. Let them rest for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the egg mixture by beating the eggs and adding chilli flakes, chopped onions, chopped green chillies, a pinch of dried mint, and salt. Mix well and fold in 1-2 tablespoons of the cooled chicken mince.

Assembling the Paratha:

Take one portion of the dough and roll it out into a round shape, about 6-7 inches in diameter. Spread a little butter on top.

Fold the dough from both sides slightly inward, then add the egg-chicken mixture carefully in the centre.

Next, fold the top and bottom edges to securely encase the filling, overlapping the sides.

Frying the Paratha:

Heat oil in a wok over medium heat. Gently place the stuffed paratha into the hot oil and fry it until it turns crispy and golden brown on both sides.
