Today is World Egg Day, so get cracking and go scouting for your eggstatic indulgence
Eggs have often been described by nutritionists as a large vitamin cocktail. Not only do eggs contain the highest quality of protein with the right mix of essential amino acids to build tissues, but are also said to possess nutrients second only to mother’s milk. To celebrate the versatility and health benefits of the egg, every year, since 1966, the second Friday in October is celebrated as World Egg Day. To help you celebrate this day, The GUIDE has whipped up a handy selection of dishes that salute the humble egg.

When it comes to the Calcutta style roll, the egg roll usually falls pretty low in the pecking order, after all, when you have succulent chicken, mutton or even kebab rolls why would you opt for the humble egg version. If you happen to be an egg lover, this version will not fail to satisfy you. What you get is a perfectly fried golden paratha slathered with a fried egg, with a stuffing of green chillies, caramelised onions and a dash of lime. If your taste veers to a more saucy version, request for tomato and chilli sauce to be added to the filling.
