Ingredients

  • For the chapattis
  • 150g wholemeal flour 
  • 150g plain flour plus extra to dust
  • 1 tsp salt 
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil 
  • 210ml hot water 
  • For the masala scrambled eggs
  • 1 tbsp small red onion peeled, halved and sliced lengthways
  • 1 small green chilli sliced
  • 1/2 garlic clove minced
  • 1/2 garam masala 
  • 1/2 tsp ground turmeric 
  • 8 large eggs beaten
  • A portion salt and ground black pepper 
  • 2 vine tomatoes deseeded and finely diced
  • 1 tbsp fresh coriander roughly chopped

Method

  1. To make the chapattis, mix both flours and the salt in a bowl. Mix in the oil and ¾ of the hot water, adding more water if needed to make a soft but not sticky dough. Knead for 8-10 minutes until soft and stretchy, then turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Cover and rest for 10 minutes.
  2. Divide the dough into 8 balls. Roll each ball to 16cm diameter.
  3. Heat your All-Purpose Flat Pan on a medium to high heat and cook one chapatti for 30-40 seconds on each side. When it puffs up, press down with a spatula and cook for another 10 seconds on each side. Remove from the pan and keep warm on a plate covered with a tea towel. Repeat until all chapattis are cooked.
  4. For the eggs, melt the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion, chilli and garlic and fry until soft but not coloured.
  5. Add the garam masala and turmeric and cook for 1 minute. Reduce the temperature to low, add the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring until the eggs are a soft, scrambled consistency.
  6. Fold in the tomatoes and coriander and serve the eggs on top of the warm chapattis.
