Ingredients
- 4 frozen parathas or chapatis
- 8 eggs
- 1½ cups finely shredded cabbage
- ½ onion, finely chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
- 2 Roma tomatoes, thinly sliced
- a handful of cilantro, chopped
- 1 avocado, sliced
From your pantry: 2 tbsp oil, salt, pepper.
Instructions
- Cook the parathas in a dry nonstick skillet over medium until puffed and golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Keep warm under a towel.
- Beat the eggs with the cabbage, onion, bell pepper, cilantro, ½ tsp salt and pepper.
- Heat ½ tbsp oil in the skillet over medium. Pour in a quarter of the egg mixture and spread it to the size of the paratha. Cook until the bottom is set, about 2 minutes, then flip.
- Immediately press a paratha on top of the omelet and cook 1 minute so they stick together. Flip onto a board, egg side up.
- Lay tomato and avocado slices along the middle, roll up tightly and wrap the bottom in foil or paper. Repeat with the rest.
Tip: Shred the cabbage as finely as you can (a box grater works) so it softens in the time the eggs take to set.
