( To make chapati take Whole wheat flour, oil, a pinch of salt. In a bowl mix together flour, oil and salt. Add water and make a soft dough. Divide the dough in equal sized small balls.

Take a ball, flatten it with finger tips and using a rolling pin start roll out the dough to form a circle. Use dust flour while rolling. Now in a heated skillet put the rolled out dough and cook for few mins. Flip and cook the other side too. When done keep aside.)

Now break an egg into a bowl and beat it with salt and pepper.
