Egg roll

Street food is vary famous in India. I don't know about the hygienic factors of those foods but it is really really tasty.As a Bong girl I must admit that now I really miss those foods.People like me, who stay abroad and miss those tasty rolls has no other option left rather than making it at home.
I will share one of those rolls which is really easy to make and probably the most selling street food(snacks)
in Kolkata.

 Ingredients:
Flour 1 cup, 1 egg, half medium size onion cut into slice,1/2 cucumber cut into slice,1/2 teaspoon of black pepper powder,1 teaspoon of tomato sauce,4 tablespoon of oil ,chopped green chili 1/2 teaspoon,1/2 lemon,1/2 cup water,white paper to wrap the roll and salt to taste.

Procedure:
First of all we have to make a dough to prepare the base of the roll. In a container take one cup of  flour, 1 tablespoon oil and a pinch of salt. Mix it well  and then add almost 1/2 cup of water and knead it well to make a fine dough.Do not mix the water all at a time rather mix it slowly. Now with the use of a roller we have to give it a shape of a circle or in other words have to make a Roti. Now take a tawa or non stic pan and put it in medium flame. Put the Roti in it and bake both the sida a for 1min(1/2 min each). do not make it brown.We want this to be half done. Those people who dont want to follow this procedure can simply buy flour tortia(probably not available in India) and then do the following steps what I am going to share now.
Now brake the egg in a small bowl ,add some salt and mix it well. Take a frying pan and put it in medium heat.Add about 2 teaspoon of oil and let it get warm.Then add the egg and put the Roti on top of it.Once the egg get cooked properly from inside turn the Roti on the other side and add some more oil. Fry both the side of the Roti properly until it turns into nice light golden color with some brown spots on top of it.


 Now take a rectangular white paper(can use kitchen roll as well) and put the fried Roti such that half of it remain outside of the paper.Now add some sliced onion,cucumber,1 teaspoon of tomato sauce. sprinkle some black pepper powder,squeeze 1/2 of a lemon , add some salt to taste and about 1/2 a teaspoon of chopped green chili.Though chili is optional but I would prefer to give it. If you don't like it just don't add it.Now wrap it really well with the paper and also close the lower part of the paper carefully so that the stuffing do not come out.
One of our famous street food Egg Roll is ready to serve all alone or you can serve it with cold or hot drinks as well...

Hope you enjoyed this session... :)  happy cooking :)
