Moglai Porota

'Moglai Porota' is a popular Bengali dish made with refined flour, eggs and keema. Moglai porota with kosha mangsho is a classic combination in Bengali cuisine. The crispy paratha layered with eggs and keema tastes delicious. The paratha itself is so yummy that you can relish it without a side dish. So, here I am to present 'Moglai Porota' in my own style for all the egg lovers!

Ingredients for 1 Moglai Porota:

1. Refined flour - 1 cup
2. Egg - 1
3. Cooked mutton keema - 2 tablespoons
4. Chopped onions - 1 tablespoon
5. Chopped green chili - 2
6. Refined oil - 3 tablespoons
7. Salt to taste

Okay, let's start!

• Add 1 tablespoon of refined oil and a little bit of salt to a cup of refined flour, Make a dough and let it rest for 10 minutes
• Meanwhile, beat an egg, add chopped onions, chopped green chilies and salt to it and mix it well
• Now roll out the dough on all sides evenly, adding flour as needed, try to stretch it with the help of rolling pin as much as possible. The thinner it is, the better but avoid tearing
• Heat a frying pan, once the frying pan is real hot, place the flattened refined flour dough on it and let it cook on low flame for 20 seconds
• Pour the egg on it but do not try to spread it. Let it be that way for 10 seconds
• Add keema on top of the egg
• Now the tricky part, shaping the paratha, start folding it in such  way that at the end, the paratha looks like a square (top, bottom, left & right)
• The edges of each fold should touch each other but it should not come on the top of each other, little tricky but with practice it gets easier
• This way, egg is fully covered with the paratha and not at all visible
• Add a tablespoon of oil on top of the paratha and flip it
• Cook for 3 minutes per side on low flame
• Once the paratha looks golden brown, puffy and crispy, it's time to serve

Serve 'the Moglai Porota' with your choice of side dish!
