Prepare the Dough:
In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add just enough water to form a smooth dough. Once the dough comes together, add 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil and knead for a few more minutes. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and set aside. -
Prepare the Egg Mixture:
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with finely chopped onions, green chillies, and salt. Set aside. -
Prepare the Filling:
Thinly slice the onion, green bell pepper, and carrot. Combine them in a bowl and set aside. -
Cook the Paratha:
Heat a tawa (griddle) and drizzle some Figaro Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Roll each portion of dough into a large circle and cook on the tawa until golden on both sides. -
Make the Egg Paratha:
While the paratha is cooking, pour a ladle of the egg mixture onto the paratha. Let it cook until the egg is set, then flip to cook the other side. Repeat for all 4 parathas. -
Assemble the Roll:
Place the cooked egg paratha on a flat surface with the egg side facing up. In the center of each paratha, add a portion of the sliced onion, capsicum, and carrot mixture. Drizzle with the sweet and spicy red chilli sauce and mustard sauce. -
Roll It Up:
Carefully fold the paratha around the filling to create a roll. Wrap it in aluminum foil or greaseproof paper to secure it. -
Serve:
Serve the Kolkata Style Egg Rolls hot as a quick dinner, picnic snack, or lunch box treat.
