egg paratha 1
Ingredients:
Eggs - 2, large
Whole wheat flour - 1 cup
Vegetable oil for cooking
Cilantro leaves - 1/4 cup, chopped
Chopped tomatoes - half, small, chopped
Chopped green chillies
Chaat masala - 1/2 tsp or more
Salt - to taste
Grated cheese - optional

Method:
  1. First prepare semi soft dough from wheat flour with some water. Keep the dough covered.
  2. Beat eggs, add all chopped ingredient, salt and spices
  3. Pinch a tennis ball size dough, roll it into a small disc shape. Smear some oil and sprinkle flour and fold it into half. Again smear some oil followed by sprinkling some flour. Fold it again to form small triangle. Roll it again to larger size of the triangle [remember to roll it gently at this point as you will need to separate the layers for filling]
  4. Heat tawa [griddle], brush some oil and place the rolled triangular paratha for 20 sec. Flip it to other side and wait till it starts to puff. 
  5. Now with the help of butterknife carefully open up the top layer of paratha to form pocket. Pour in a small quantity of egg mixture into it and let it cook for sometime. Sprinkle more oil.The egg mixture will begin to settle. Very gently flip the paratha to the other side [do it very carefully as you don't want to spill the entire egg mixture]. Cook parathas until the egg is cooked.
  6. Serve it hot with Ketchup

Rice Kheer in Rice Cooker

Till now, I have been using rice cooker for just cooking rice. Recently I learnt that one cook toor daal (lentil soup), daal makhani and rice kheer. Since, dessert is my weakness, I thought I should start with rice kheer. Ingredients Rice - 1/2 cup Whole milk - 1.5 cups + more Raisins - 1/4 cup Sugar - 1/2 cup Cardamom powder - 1/4 tsp Ghee (clarified butter oil) - 1/2 tsp Method Rinse rice with water. Drain excess water and put rice in the slow cooker.  Pour all the milk and turn on the rice cooker and cover the lid.  It is important to stir kheer from to time to time. Add sugar. You may need to add more milk as the milk concentrates before the rice is cooked.  Once the rice cooked in milk turn off the switch. Heat ghee in a laddle. When hot add the raisins and cook on low heat till raising loook golden and pour the mixture in the kheer. Sprinkle the cardamom powder and serve cold or warm
