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. 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. 2

    Toss sliced red onion with lime juice, a pinch of salt, and half the cilantro. Set aside to pickle.

  3. 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.

  4. 4

    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. 5

    Push parathas to the side. Crack eggs into the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and scramble until cooked through, about 4 minutes.

  6. 6

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