Chili Cheese Paratha

Ingredients

• 2 cup wheat flour
• salt (to taste; used in the dough and garlic-chili mixture)
• 0.5 tsp red chili flakes
• 0.5 cup water (or more as needed for kneading the dough)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup green onion (chopped)
• 0.25 cup coriander leaves (chopped; used in the garlic-chili mixture)
• 1 tbsp fresh garlic (minced)
• 4 tbsp butter (melted for the garlic-chili mixture; additional butter or oil may be used for cooking)

Steps

1. 1

   In a mixing bowl, combine the wheat flour and salt. Gradually add the water, adding more if needed, until the mixture forms a dough.

2. 2

   Knead the dough for about 5 minutes, until smooth and cohesive.

3. 3

   In another mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped coriander leaves, salt, and red chili flakes. Mix well to make the garlic-chili mixture.

4. 4

   Divide the dough into small, equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.

5. 5

   Flatten each dough ball with a rolling pin. Place a spoonful of the garlic-chili mixture in the center.

6. 6

   Add the chopped green onion and shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the garlic-chili mixture.

7. 7

   Cover the filling with another flattened piece of dough, as shown in the video, sealing the filling inside.

8. 8

   Flatten the filled dough again with a rolling pin to form a paratha.

9. 9

   Heat a skillet and cook each paratha with some oil or butter until golden brown.

10. 10

    Serve the parathas hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.

Notes

The source does not specify the exact amount of cooking oil or butter, the skillet temperature, or the number of dough portions. It mentions fresh coriander in the instructions; this is treated as the listed chopped coriander leaves.
