Prep: 10 minCook: 15 minTotal: 25 minServes: 2
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Atta for 2 parathas — buy at AkBaat
- 3 Eggs — buy at AkBaat
- 1/4 cup Onion + green chilli, chopped
- pinch Chat masala — buy at AkBaat
- 2 tbsp Ghee for the tawa — buy at AkBaat
- as liked Ketchup, to roll — buy at AkBaat
Instructions
- Knead soft dough (warm water); rest 15 minutes if the morning allows.
- Roll and tawa-fry parathas in ghee to blistered gold; keep warm.
- Masala omelette: eggs whisked with onion, chilli, salt and chat masala; fry flat and thin.
- Lay omelette on paratha, stripe of ketchup, roll tight.
- Wrap in foil for the school bag, or eat standing like everyone actually does.
The anda paratha roll is Pakistan's original breakfast wrap — older than every food trend that resembles it.
Serving Suggestions
Standing at the counter with doodh patti, or foil-wrapped into bags. The ketchup stripe is structural, not optional, per every school-goer ever.
Storage
The roll travels 3-4 hours foiled. Dough refrigerates two days — knead once, breakfast twice.
Cook's Notes
Thin omelette is the rolling secret — thick omelettes crack the wrap. Chat masala in the egg is the difference between breakfast and breakfast.

Frequently Asked Questions
Paratha naram kaise rehta hai lunchbox tak?
Soft dough, proper ghee, and the foil wrap while warm — steam keeps it pliable. Rock-hard lunchbox parathas come from dry dough and open cooling.
