Making paranthas (for roll):

5. Pour oil on the tawa / griddle and coat the parantha with the oil. Keep aside.
6. Add oil again on the tawa / griddle and pour a little portion of beaten egg on the tawa / griddle. Quickly put a parantha on the egg and allow the egg to set.
7. Flip the parantha over to the other side (egg side up) and cook till both sides are evenly fried.
8. Remove the fried parantha from tawa / griddle. Keep aside.

Putting it all togather..

3. Roll the parantha with the chicken stuffing firmly so that the chicken cubes do not fall.
4. Wrap the roll in a tissue paper and serve hot with tomato sauce / chilli sauce.
