Tips
Frozen Parathas are normally located in the frozen Asian aisle in most large supermarkets or you can try your nearest Indian supermarket.
Keep your paratha frozen until you are ready to cook it otherwise, they can stick to each other. You can add vegetables such as mushrooms and peppers to your eggs to make this healthier. If you can’t find paratha, it can be replaced with wraps, but it won’t be as flaky. Check if the eggs are done by lifting one corner of them away from the pan to look for slight browning.
