Cheese Paratha

Cheese paratha is Indian flat bread stuffed with grated cheese and shallow fried with oil from both sides.



Ingredients:

2 cup whole wheat flour

Water for kneading a dough
1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
1 tsp black pepper powder
Salt to taste
Chopped green coriander leaves
3-4 tblsp oil

Preparation:

• First knead a simple soft dough by add water to the flour
• Now make small equal balls of the dough
• Roll each ball into a small round.
• Mix the cheese, salt, pepper and coriander together and stuff a spoonful in the rounds.
• Seal all the sides together and make small patties
• Now roll these back again into sizeable rounds keeping in mind that the cheese does not break the pastry and come out.
• Heat the tawa and put one rolled round on it.
• Once it starts getting half done from the bottoms side, switch sides and rub oil well on the previously bottom side.
• Now switch sides again and rub oil on the other side.
• Keep pressing both the sides on the tawa so that the paratha becomes crispy and serve hot cheese paratha with green coriander-mint-garlic chutney.
