How to Make Bangladeshi Egg With Paratha

  1. **Egg Preparation:**
  2. Crack 2 large eggs into a bowl.
  3. Add 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 1-2 finely chopped green chilies (adjust to taste), 2 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves, 1 teaspoon coriander powder, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and salt to taste.
  4. Thoroughly mix all ingredients.
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
  6. Once the butter is melted, pour in the egg mixture.
  7. Cook until the bottom is lightly browned, then flip and cook the other side until set.
  8. Remove from heat and set aside.
  9. **Paratha Preparation:**
  10. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup milk, 2 tablespoons margarine, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  11. Mix with a spoon, then gradually add warm water (about 1/2 cup, or more as needed) to form a soft, pliable dough.
  12. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth. If using, you can use a dough maker.
  13. Divide the dough into 4-5 equal portions.
  14. Roll each portion into a thin, circular flatbread (about 6-8 inches in diameter), dusting with dry flour as needed to prevent sticking.
  15. Heat 1 tablespoon shortening in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
  16. Cook each paratha for 2-3 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and cooked through.
  17. Stack the cooked parathas on a plate.
