Egg paranthas.
Roti and paranthas are staple food for north Indians. In the northern state of Punjab it is very common to have paranthas in breakfast daily. Even though it is high on calories but is liked by all the north Indians. Paranthas are eaten in breakfast lunch an dinner. Also the name of paranthas is derived from its stuffing. It can be Aloo parantha (potato stuffing), mooli parantha (radish stuffing), gobhi parantha (cauliflower stuffing) or pyaz parantha ( onion stuffing). There are countless kind of paranthas. This recipe is called egg parantha because the stuffing is egg in this recipe. I used to like it as a kid. I even like it today and can easily eat 3 or 4 egg paranthas in one go.
