Ingredients
  

Chapati
  • 3 cups Plain Flour
  • 1.5 tsp Salt
  • 1 cup Water
  • Oil
Filling
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 Carrot grated
  • 1 Onion diced
  • 1 Pepper chopped
  • 2 Tomatoes sliced
  • Grated Cabbage/Chilli (optional)
  • Salt

Method
 

  1. Add the flour and salt into a bowl, then add the water a little at a time to make a dough (you don’t always need to use a full cup) 
  2. Knead the dough – it shouldn’t be sticky or too soft (add a little flour if it feels too soft) 
  3. Take the dough and divide it into round balls smaller than a fist. Once all the dough is used up brush with oil and allow to sit for 20 minutes 
  4. After 20 minutes roll each of the dough balls into large pancakes not too thick – a quarter inch at most. 
  5. On an oiled flat pan fry the chapati, turning frequently so it doesn’t burn 
  6. Crack eggs into a dish 
  7. Add the carrot, onion and pepper to the egg 
  8. Add some grated cabbage and chilli’s (Optional) 
  9. Pour the mix onto a hot pan and spread so it’s quite thin 
  10. Cook through
  11. Place the chapati on top of the egg so you can cook the other side - the heat helps to make the chapati roll better
  12. Remove from the heat placing the chapati side down, add sliced tomato and roll
