BAIDA ROTI. ( MINCED MEAT STUFFED IN EGG WASHED BREAD)

The sights and smells that emerge from the lanes behind the Taj Mahal hotel, Colaba always remind me of my Favorite foodie joint... Bade Miyaan. No fancy restaurant, but the food is far better than most 5 stars!
I love that street food vendor. And though it is really hard to pick a favorite dish, the one I keep dreaming of is BAIDA ROTI!
After a few failed attempts, I came up with a version that is quite good. Hope you like it!

Ingredients for the filling

1 cup minced meat. chicken, mutton, turkey, beef
