Kolkata Style Egg Roll

It’s one of the most popular street food of Kolkata. Well when we visit any of the shops for an egg roll... you need to tell them double dim (egg) or single dimer egg roll... it’s made with flaky Egg Paratha assembled with some vegetable, sauce and seasoning. This makes a great snacks or an early evening meal on the days you are lazy to cook an elaborate meal, specially this recipe is appropriate for this lock down situation. We can make this easily at home. For the flaky Paratha, the dough is made with All Purpose Flour, salt, oil and water. The flour is kneaded into a semi hard dough. Normally when I make this at home, I make this with normal whole wheat dough.

Remove the roti, pour the remaining oil, pour the beaten egg and cook the egg for few seconds, place the roti on the egg, continue to cook till the egg and the roti is done.
