Cheesy chapathi egg roll: The ultimate hostel hack

If you have ever lived in a hostel or a PG, you know that creativity in the kitchen is born out of hunger and a near-empty shelf. The cheesy egg roll is one of those dishes that feels like it was invented by someone staring at a chapathi, an egg, and a block of cheese, wondering how to turn them into something comforting.

This recipe is quick, filling, and endlessly adaptable. It takes the humblest of leftovers and transforms them into a snack that tastes like a small indulgence.

Ingredients
2 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 onion, finely chopped
½ capsicum, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
A handful of coriander leaves, chopped
1 cooked chapathi
½ cup grated cheese

Preparation
In a bowl, whisk the eggs with milk, salt, and pepper until frothy
Heat a pan and pour in the egg mixture
Let it spread into a thin omelette
Sprinkle the chopped onion, capsicum, coriander, and any other vegetables you find in your fridge
Let them cook lightly on the egg
Sprinkle a generous layer of grated cheese over the egg

Place a cooked chapathi right on top of the half-cooked egg
Press gently so it sticks
Carefully flip the entire thing so the chapathi faces down
Let it cook for a minute until the cheese melts
Remove from the pan, roll it up tight, and slice into bite-sized pieces.
