Tips, food safety & substitutions
Cook the paratha first and keep it wrapped in a cloth so it stays soft while you make the omelette. Food safety: cook the omelette until fully set. Allergens: contains egg, wheat (gluten) and milk (butter, yoghurt, chai). Substitute: use a wholemeal roti instead of a paratha for a lighter platter.
