Cheese-Stuffed Paratha

Ingredients

Dough

• 2 cups whole wheat flour (atta)
• ½ tsp salt
• ~¾ cup warm water
• 1 tbsp oil or ghee

Filling

• 1½ cups grated cheese
  • Best melt: mozzarella
  • Best flavor: mix with cheddar or Amul cheese
• 1–2 tbsp chopped cilantro (optional)
• ½ tsp crushed black pepper or green chili (to taste)
• Pinch of salt (only if cheese isn’t salty)

For cooking

• Ghee or butter

Instructions

1. Make the dough
   Mix flour and salt. Add water gradually and knead into a soft dough.
   Knead in oil/ghee, cover, and rest 20–30 minutes.
2. Prepare the filling
   Mix grated cheese with cilantro, pepper/chili, and salt if needed.
3. Stuff the paratha
   Divide dough into equal balls.
   Roll one ball into a small disc.
   Place a generous amount of cheese in the center.
   Gather edges, seal well, and gently flatten.
4. Roll gently
   Dust lightly with flour and roll into a 6–7 inch circle.
   (Be gentle so the cheese doesn’t break through.)
5. Cook
   Heat a tawa or skillet on medium.
   Cook paratha until bubbles appear, flip, spread ghee/butter, flip again.
   Cook both sides until golden brown and crisp.
6. Serve hot
   Best eaten straight off the pan while the cheese is stretchy 😋
