Instructions
- Step 1: In a bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/2 cup water to form a smooth dough. Knead for 5 minutes, cover, and let rest for 15 minutes.
- Step 2: Boil 1 medium peeled and diced potato in salted water until tender, about 12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 small diced onion and sauté for 3 minutes until translucent.
- Step 4: Add boiled potatoes, 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, 1/2 tsp cumin powder, and 1/2 tsp salt; cook for 5 minutes, mashing slightly to form a spiced hash.
- Step 5: In another pan, heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil over medium-low heat. Beat 4 large eggs with 1/4 tsp black pepper and 2 tbsp chopped cilantro, then scramble gently until soft and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Step 6: Divide the dough into 4 balls. Roll each into a 7-inch circle. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and brush with 1 tbsp vegetable oil. Cook each chapati for 2 minutes per side until golden and puffed.
- Step 7: Assemble wraps by placing a generous spoonful of spiced potato hash and scrambled eggs on each chapati, then roll up tightly.
- Step 8: Serve warm for a filling breakfast or brunch option.
