Egg Parathas / Whole Wheat Indian Flat Bread with Egg stuffing

Parathas are the Indian flat breads which are made of wheat flour; mainly originated from the northern parts of India.They can be plain or with different stuffing.Winter is the perfect time according to me to relish parathas the most as they are so tasty when served hot.This time I gave the egg stuffing a try and that was really good.Kids loved this a lot,and I just served it with plain yogurt with black pepper and salt.So,friends enjoy this eggy parathas and hope you all give this a try !!
