Ingredients
  

For the Wrap

  • 1½ cup All-purpose Flour or Maida
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp Oil or adjust accordingly
  • Water

For the Filling

  • 4 Eggs
  • 2 Onions small to medium
  • 4-5 Green Chilis
  • 1 Cucumber
  • 1 Lime large
  • Tomato Ketchup
  • Kasundi if available
  • Black salt to taste
  • Chaat Masala
  • Vegetable oil

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dough

  • First, take a large mixing bowl and add all-purpose flour or maida.
  • Next, add salt to taste and oil.
  • Now, mix all the ingredients nicely until well combined.
  • After this, start to add water in small quantities and knead.
  • Keep on kneading and adding water until the flour comes together nicely.
  • Knead the dough for about 10 minutes or until soft and smooth.
  • Cover it and keep it aside. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes.

Prepare the Veggies for the filling

  • While the dough is resting, peel the onion and cucumber.
  • Cut into halves and then slice the onions. Separate all the rings.
  • Slice the cucumber and then chop them into thin strips.
  • Finely chop the green chilis and keep all these aside.

Prepare the paratha

  • After the dough has rested, take out small portions of dough and make them into small balls.
  • Take a rolling board and a rolling pin.
  • Spread some flour on the board and start to roll the dough ball. Add flour if the dough sticks to the board.
  • Roll the dough into a nice circular shape like a paratha.
  • Next, make an incision radius-wise and then start to roll from there.
  • A cone will be formed. Press it down and then roll again into a paratha.

Make the paratha

  • Take a tawa and add oil.
  • While the oil is getting heated, break an egg in a bowl and whisk it with some salt.
  • When the oil is hot, pour the whisked egg. Keep the flame on medium.
  • Now gently place the rolled dough on the egg. Do this immediately after pouring the egg so that it sticks well to the paratha.
  • Let the egg fry properly before flipping onto the other side.
  • Next, turn the paratha on the other side. Let it get fried until golden and cooked. Make sure not to over-fry otherwise it will start to break while folding.

Prepare the egg roll

  • When it is done, transfer it onto a plate and put the onion, cucumber, and green chilis.
  • Cut the lime in half and squeeze some on the filling. Do not put too much.
  • Next, add tomato ketchup and kasundi.
  • On this sprinkle some chaat masala and black salt.
  • After this, fold one end a little and then start to roll the paratha. One end is folded so that nothing falls out of the egg roll.
  • Now, wrap half of the egg roll with butter paper or any paper available.
  • Repeat this with all the dough balls and make the egg rolls in the same way.
