Recipe:

1. First of all squeeze lemon in a bowl ( or use lemon juice) and then add onion, cucumber, and carrot in it. Also add a pinch of chat masala and salt in it and let it rest for half an hour.
2. Take flour in a  bowl add salt and oil and mix them very well. Then add water (small amount at a time) to knead and make a soft dough and also keep it aside for half to 1 hour.
3. 3. In the meantime cook chicken:                                     

• For this put pan in a stove, when it is hot add 2/3 tbs of oil and let it heat. 
• Add chopped onion in it and let it cook until its color changed to light brown. 
• And then add chicken (make sure chicken pieces are not more than one-inch or quarter-inch are also fine). Let them cook until all the water from chicken dry and oil separate at the bottom of the pan. 
• At that time add ginger garlic paste. Stir them for 1 minute and then add salt, turmeric, cumin, and coriander powder and stir them for 1 more minute. 
• After that add tomato (chopped or paste). Let it cook in low flame for 5/6 minutes (you can add Ketchup now or later also no issue. I prefer to add after tomato become soft). 
• Do not add water and also cook chicken till it becomes dry and then turn off the flame

 4. Now make flatbread by taking small dough at a time and roll thin roti.

 5. Heat pan or Tawa and then put roti (flatbread) in it and cook well on one side and then only flip to the other side. On the cooked side apply some oil. Crack one egg and spread it all over the roti in the meantime another side is cooking. Flip the bread to cook on the egg side and spread oil on the side without egg.

6. After cooking both sides transfer the roti in the paper, spread ketchup in the roti. Then put the cooked chicken and the salad on top of it. At last add some mayonnaise (if you have else no need). Then wrap the roti with paper at the bottom to make the shape given in the picture.
From the steps it seems tedious process but actually it is very simple and very tasty. You can use leftover chicken in it too.
