Green chili : 2, chopped
Sunflower oil (Sada tel) to fry

Steps:

Sift the flour , add ½ teaspoon of salt to it, pour half-cup of water and knead into a soft dough, use more water or fry flour to make the dough non-sticky
Divide the dough into four equal portions and shape into balls, keep aside
For the filling, beat the egg in a bowl, add the crushed coconut , ginger garlic paste, chopped onion, green chilies and salt; mix well
Roll out each ball of dough into a 8 inch diameter paratha and place one-fourth of the filling at the centre of the paratha
Wrap the filling carefully from all sides to make a square
Heat one tablespoon of oil in a pan and place the paratha carefully in it without letting the filling come out
Fry well till both the sides become golden brown, use extra oil if required
