Take 1 cup of all-purpose flour in a bowl.

Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon of oil to the flour.

Mix the flour and oil well until it feels crumbly.

Add 5 tablespoons of water gradually to form a soft dough.

Knead the dough until smooth and cover it with a little oil to prevent sticking.

Set the dough aside to rest.

Grate 2 small eggs into a bowl (or mash them if preferred).

Add 1 tablespoon of chopped green chilies, 2 tablespoons of chopped coriander, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin powder, 1 teaspoon of coriander powder, 1/2 teaspoon of red chili powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric powder to the eggs and mix well to prepare the filling.

Prepare a slurry by mixing 1 tablespoon of ghee with 1 teaspoon of corn flour.

Divide the dough into 5 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.

Roll out each ball into a flat circle, applying a little dry flour to prevent sticking.

Spread a little slurry on the first rolled circle and place another circle on top, repeating this process for all 5 circles to create layers.

Once all layers are stacked, roll them up tightly into a cylinder and then coil it into a round shape.

Flatten the coil gently and roll it out again into a circle.

Place 1 tablespoon of the egg filling in the center of the rolled dough and fold it over to seal, similar to making a pouch.

Gently flatten the filled dough and roll it out slightly to form the paratha.

Heat a skillet over medium flame and cook the paratha until golden brown, flipping to cook both sides evenly.

Serve hot with ketchup or yogurt chutney.
