Mughlai paratha recipe | Egg muglai paratha | Bengali egg moglai porota

Mughlai paratha recipe | egg mughlai paratha | bengali egg moglai porota is popular as Bangladeshi and Kolkata street food. Mughlai paratha is originally a deep-fried crispy Indian bread stuffed with egg or keema. It’s a special paratha recipe of bengali cuisine, where chicken or mutton keema or mince was used with eggs as stuffing. Though vegetarians can replace eggs with paneer, mashed potatoes (aloo), and masala tossed veggies as stuffing just like other indian stuffed paratha recipes. Though such parathas are available in the evening time in Kolkata street, however, you can prepare it at breakfast too.
