02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Step 1

In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, and oil. Gradually add water and knead until you get a soft dough. Drizzle a little oil on top, cover it, and let it rest for about 30 minutes.

02

Step 2

Heat some oil in a pan, then sauté the chopped onion for a minute. Add the chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for another minute. Sprinkle in salt, cumin seeds, pepper, and paprika, then mix everything well.

Step 3

Toss in the chopped carrot, capsicum, tomato, and coriander leaves. Give it a good mix and set the filling aside to cool a bit.

Step 4

Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each one out into a flat circle, place some of the chicken filling and a raw egg in the center, then fold the edges over to seal it.

Heat a little oil on a griddle or pan, then cook the stuffed flatbread until both sides are golden brown and cooked through.
