How To Make Egg Paratha?
Anda Paratha can be prepared in many ways. Some methods recommend the egg mixture layered between two separate sheets of paratha. On the other hand, in Mughlai paratha egg mixture is spooned into the paratha layer and then sealed like an envelope. In this method, we are cooking the paratha first, spreading a generous layer of egg mixture, cook it and at last, fold the paratha into the half.
