Egg parathas come in a wide variety of styles, from the traditional fried kind seen on street corners to more creative options like omelette pockets and light scrambled fillings. Learn how to take your parathas to the next level with the perfect atta, such as Aashirvaad 100% MP Sharbati, High Fibre with Multigrains, or Shudh Chakki. Keen to try something new for breakfast? Then let’s get going!
Egg paratha is one of the few breakfast dishes that truly embodies Indian culture. It’s quick, filling, and endlessly versatile. The protein-rich, indulgent nature of eggs pairs perfectly with the familiarity and comfort of parathas. But what really elevates a good paratha to an exceptional one is the atta. Using Aashirvaad Atta gives you dough that is soft, malleable, and sturdy enough to hold eggs in any style.
Beyond the recipe itself, egg parathas are about ritual, comfort, and creativity. Whether you prefer a fluffy scramble, a dramatic street-style pour, or a neat omelette pocket, there’s a version to suit every family and every mood. Choose the right Aashirvaad variant for a soft, delicious foundation—because the right atta truly makes all the difference.
The recipe calls for softly scrambled eggs with onions, chillies, and coriander before kneading them into the atta dough. After that, you can roll out the flavoured dough and cook it just like any other paratha. The lusciousness of the egg and the spicy heat are carried through every mouthful. It's quite adaptable; you can make it richer with cheese and healthier with spinach and soya crumbs.
This recipe is taken to the next level with Aashirvaad High Fibre Atta with Multigrains. The combination of six grains adds crunch, fibre, and a nutty undertone, making it a nutritious breakfast that may help with digestion.
For the most textural variety, try this version with a gently charred paratha foundation and an egg fried to your liking. The process starts with traditional paratha dough, which is rolled thin and cooked on a hot tawa until bubbles appear, then lightly brushed with oil or ghee.
To get the perfect fried egg, crack an egg directly onto a hot, oiled tawa, spread it carefully, season with salt, pepper, and oregano, and cook until done to your preference. Press the cooked paratha on top of the egg only after it is mostly cooked (about 70% done). This ensures that the egg stays in place when you flip it over. The result is a crisp base, a layer of delicately fried egg, and a rich, satisfying texture.
Omelette Pocket Paratha can be the star of your next dinner party. To begin, fry the paratha on a hot tawa until it puffs up. When a pocket is formed, carefully cut it open and add a whisked egg mixture along with the coriander, onions, and chillies. After that, the paratha is wrapped and fried once again, letting the egg simmer within. The end product is a simple and worthwhile omelette with a crisp top and a delicate, fluffy inside.
This protein-packed and filling omelette pocket can be a great portable option for mornings when you're on the go or be enjoyed as a snack on a long drive.
The protagonist of each of these three egg paratha recipes is the dough. The atta dough has to be just the right consistency to hold one egg without cracking or crumbling. Use Aashirvaad 100% MP Sharbati for its exceptional quality, which helps parathas retain their softness and pliability for hours after cooking.
The gluten in the dough relaxes when you let it rest, which improves texture and makes rolling easier. After kneading, make sure the dough rests for at least 15 minutes, preferably 30 minutes, and up to two hours if necessary. Cover it with a moist towel or plastic wrap to keep it from drying out.
The traditional green chutney, tangy tomato salsa, or refreshing cucumber raita are all perfect accompaniments to egg parathas. However, to make a filling and hearty meal, you can pair the parathas and pockets with a bowl of dal, a cup of masala chai, and a simple salad. If you have any leftover sabzis or grilled chicken, these wraps are a great alternative and will provide you with endless lunchbox ideas.
