ingredients
Cheese โ To make this chilli cheese paratha I have used processed cheese. You may also use mozzarella, or cheddar instead. We will need to grate the cheese for the stuffing.
Whole Wheat Flour โWe will require whole wheat flour for making the covering of this paratha. If you like to have a crispy paratha then use half wheat flour and half all-purpose flour (maida).
Ginger & Green Chillies โ For this chilli cheese paratha we will need 2-3 green chillies along with half an inch of ginger. Make a paste using morat-pestel. This chilli-ginger paste adds a nice punch of flavour to this paratha. While making for children, adjust green chillies accordingly or skip it completely.
Spices & Herbs โ We will be using mixed Italian herbs like oregano, thyme and rosemary. To add a little heat, I like to add some chilli flakes which give a nice taste to this paratha.
Seasoning โ We will use salt only in making the wheat dough. Do not add salt to cheese stuffing.
Fats โ I have used ghee here but you can use ghee oil or butter.
Water โ We will need water to make the wheat dough.
