Some recipes call for coating the dough circles in lightly beaten eggs rather then using mashed egg and then frying in a small amount of ghee. Make sure you don't leave out the chopped cilantro - it adds a nice color and texture to the paratha. Substitute light oil for ghee to make non-dairy.

Ingredients
2 cups flour, whole wheat
2 tsp. salt
4 eggs, boiled and mashed
2 tsp. ghee plus extra for frying
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. coriander leaves, chopped (cilantro)
Water, for kneading
Directions
- Sift flour in bowl with 1 teaspoon salt. Gradually add water to make a stiff dough. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for 20 minutes.
- Combine mashed egg with remaining salt, pepper, coriander and 1 teaspoon ghee. Mix well.
- Knead the dough until smooth then divide into 8 equal parts and form dough balls. Roll out each dough ball into a 4 inch diameter circle.
- Place 1 tablespoon egg filling in the center of each circle and shape them into balls again. Roll out each ball on a floured surface into 5 inch diameter circles. Rub each with a little ghee on one side.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and fry each paratha until golden brown. Rub ghee on paratha before turning. Add additional ghee as needed.
