Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cups Water
- 1 cup Grated carrots
- 0.75 cups Grated cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1 unit Green chili (finely chopped)
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (finely chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoons Red chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Garam masala
- 2 tablespoons Oil or ghee for cooking
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add water and knead into a soft, pliable dough. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for 15-20 minutes.
In another bowl, mix the grated carrots, grated cheese, green chili, chopped cilantro, ground cumin, red chili powder, and garam masala. Combine well to form the paratha stuffing.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into small balls. Flatten the balls slightly with your hands.
Take one dough ball and roll it out into a small circle (approximately 4 inches in diameter) using a rolling pin. Place a generous portion of the carrot-cheese stuffing in the center.
Bring the edges of the dough circle together to seal the stuffing, pinching at the top to close tightly. Flatten gently and dust with a little flour.
Carefully roll the stuffed dough ball into a larger circle (approximately 6-7 inches in diameter). Be gentle to avoid the stuffing breaking through.
Heat a skillet or tawa on medium heat. Place the rolled paratha on the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles appear. Flip the paratha and spread a small amount of oil or ghee around the edges.
Cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown spots appear. Flip again and cook for a few seconds if needed.
Remove the paratha from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining dough and stuffing.
Serve the hot Carrot and Cheese Parathas with yogurt, pickle, or a side of chutney. Enjoy!
