📝 Ingredients:
For the Chicken Filling:
- 🍗 1 lb boneless chicken breast or thighs, thinly sliced
- 🧄 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 🧅 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 🥣 ½ cup plain yogurt
- 🌶️ 1 tsp red chili powder
- 🌿 1 tsp garam masala
- 🌿 1 tsp cumin powder
- 🍋 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 🧂 ½ tsp salt
For the Rolls:
- 🥚 4 eggs
- 🌯 4 parathas or flour tortillas
- 🧅 ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- 🥕 ½ carrot, julienned
- 🌿 ¼ cup cilantro, chopped
- 🍋 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 🥄 1–2 tbsp oil or butter, for cooking
👩🍳 Instructions:
1️⃣ Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine chicken, yogurt, garlic, ginger, spices, lemon juice, and salt. Let marinate for at least 15–30 minutes (or overnight for max flavor).
2️⃣ Cook the Chicken
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken and cook until fully cooked and slightly charred, about 8–10 minutes. Set aside.
3️⃣ Make the Egg Wraps
Crack 1 egg into a bowl and beat lightly. Pour into a hot greased skillet and place one paratha/tortilla directly over the egg while it’s still runny. Cook for 1–2 minutes, then flip. Repeat with remaining eggs and parathas.
4️⃣ Assemble the Rolls
Place the egg side facing up. Add a scoop of chicken in the center, top with sliced onions, carrots, cilantro, and a squeeze of lemon.
5️⃣ Roll & Serve
Wrap tightly like a burrito. Serve hot with mint chutney, ketchup, or yogurt dip.
