Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup plain whole-milk yogurt
- 4 whole eggs
- ½ whole red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 whole lime (juiced)
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
Instructions
- 1
Mix flour with 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 cup water, then knead into a soft dough. Cover and let rest 5 minutes.
- 2
Toss sliced red onion with lime juice, a pinch of salt, and half the cilantro. Set aside to pickle.
- 3
Divide dough into 2 balls. Roll each into a thin 8-inch circle, brush with a little oil, and fold in half twice to form a triangle.

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Pan-fry each paratha 90 seconds per side until golden and crispy, pressing gently with a spatula.
- 5
Push parathas to the side. Crack eggs into the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and scramble until cooked through, about 4 minutes.

Plate each paratha with eggs, a dollop of yogurt, pickled onions, toasted cumin seeds, and remaining cilantro. Serve hot.
