  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • 100 g softened unsalted butter
  • 200 ml warm water

  • 1 tablespoon chaat masala
  • Juice from 1 lemon
  • 2 fresh lemons
  • 2 tablespoons all purpose (plain) flour, to sprinkle over dough
  • Rock salt
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Dough for wrap:

  • Place flour, sugar and butter in a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. Using your fingertips, combine the ingredients so the flour resembles breadcrumbs.
  • Add water and knead for about 8 minutes (5 minutes for a stand mixer with dough hook attachment) or until the dough is soft and smooth.

  • Cover and rest for about 30 minutes.

Filling:

  • Place eggs in a bowl. Whisk. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place red onions in a large bowl. Add lemon juice. Toss. Season with salt.

Make egg roll:

  • Divide dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into soft balls.
  • Working with one ball at a time, roll out into thin circle.
  • Sprinkle with oil and flour.
  • Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut into thin strips. Gather the strips together and shape into a roll.
  • Brush with oil. Rest for about 5 minutes.
  • Roll out the wraps.

Cook egg roll:

  • Lightly whisk eggs with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Heat a pan or tawa over medium heat.
  • Place one wrap on the hot pan. Cook until golden and flaky on both sides.
  • Pour ¼th of the egg mixture over wrap.
  • Spread egg, flip, and cook. Remove from pan.
  • Top with red onions, cucumbers and ketchup (tomato sauce).
  • Sprinkle with chaat masala and drizzle with fresh lemon juice from fresh lemons.
  • Sprinkle with rock salt.

Notes

  • Salt - Replace rock salt with regular salt if you like.
