Instructions
Step 1: Make dough
In a large basin, mix whole wheat flour and salt. Knead a smooth, flexible dough by adding water slowly. Knead for 2-3 minutes with oil. Rest the dough for 15-20 minutes under a moist cloth.
Step 2: Roll and bake flatbread
Roll 7-8-inch circles from equal balls of rested dough. Use a skillet over medium heat to lightly brown and cook each flatbread for 30–40 seconds on each side. Save.
Step 3: Make Egg Bhurji
Cook oil in a skillet on medium. Add chopped onions and heat until transparent. Add the ginger-garlic paste and simmer for 1-2 minutes to eliminate raw scent.
Step 4: Add Tomatoes and Spices
Cook chopped tomatoes for 3–4 minutes to soften. Stir in turmeric, red chili powder, ground coriander, and salt. Stir thoroughly and roast spices for another minute.
Step 5: Cook Eggs
Whisk the eggs again and add them to the spiced pan. Stir gently and continuously to scramble and cook eggs evenly. After 3–4 minutes, the eggs should be set yet soft.
Step 6: Finish Bhurji
Add garam masala and chopped cilantro to fried eggs. Remove from heat and mix well. Let cool slightly.
Step 7: Roll Together
Put a cooked flatbread on a clean surface. Apply a thin layer of green chutney or ketchup. Fill the center with ample egg bhurji.
Step 8: Roll Wrap
To make a secure wrap, fold the flatbread sides slightly inward and roll it tightly from end to end.
Step 9: Toast the Roll
Toast the buns in a skillet with butter or oil for 1-2 minutes per side for added crispiness and golden color.
