4.How to Prepare Kolkata-Style Mughlai Paratha

First, divide the prepared dough into large portions. Each portion should be approximately twice the size of a regular roti dough ball.

Apply a little white oil to each dough ball to prevent the surface from drying out. Cover them with a damp cloth and let them rest.

Before rolling the parathas, apply oil to the rolling board and rolling pin so that the dough does not stick.

Roll each dough ball into a large, thin sheet.

Once rolled out, gently fold the edges slightly inward with your hands. Place the prepared egg filling in the centre of the dough and spread it evenly using a spoon.

Fold the top side of the dough over the filling. Press the sides gently to seal them and make sure there are no gaps.

Next, fold the bottom side over the folded portion and seal it properly by pressing the edges together.

Gently press the folded paratha with your hands to give it a neat, square shape.

Your Kolkata-style Mughlai Paratha is now ready to be fried.

 

5.How to Fry the Mughlai Paratha

 

Heat oil in a tawa or frying pan.

Carefully place the prepared Mughlai Paratha into the hot oil. Fry over medium heat, turning it occasionally, until both sides become golden brown and crispy.

Make sure the paratha is cooked thoroughly on both sides.

Once cooked, remove it from the pan and place it on a plate.
