Delicious Cheese Paratha Recipe

This Cheese Paratha recipe brings together the best of comfort food and Indian tradition. Combining the goodness of freshly made parathas with the irresistible flavor of melted cheese, it's an ideal choice for breakfast, tiffin, or a satisfying evening snack. The paratha is generously stuffed with a spiced cheese filling, offering a mouthwatering bite in every layer.

To prepare it, start by mixing grated cheese with finely chopped green  chilies, coriander leaves, a pinch of salt, and optional spices like chili flakes or oregano. Roll out dough portions, fill them with the cheesy mixture, seal, and gently roll again. Shallow fry each paratha on a hot tawa with a bit of ghee or oil until golden brown and crispy on both sides.

Once ready, these parathas can be easily wrapped using Ekvee Foodwrap – a microwave-safe, oil- and grease-resistant, and food-grade wrapping paper. It helps retain freshness and warmth, especially when packing for lunchboxes or travel. Whether you're sending these to school with your kids or storing them for later, Ekvee Foodwrap ensures they stay non-messy and neatly packed without letting any oil seep through.

Pair the cheese paratha with ketchup, green chutney, or yogurt for a wholesome meal. For those looking to avoid foil or plastic wraps, Ekvee Foodwrap is an excellent alternative to greaseproof paper, ensuring eco-friendly and safe food storage.

Ingredients

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
  
• ¼ teaspoon salt
  
• 1 teaspoon oil or ghee
  
• ½ cup tightly packed grated cheese
  
• ¼ cup finely chopped onions
  
• ¼ to ½ teaspoon pizza seasoning, oregano, and chili flakes
  
• Fresh coriander

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl or plate/tray, combine 1 cup of whole wheat flour, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon oil or ghee. Gradually add water and knead into a smooth and soft dough. Adjust the water quantity as needed based on the quality of the flour. Cover the dough with a lid or cloth and let it rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
   
2. While the dough is resting, prepare the cheese stuffing. In a bowl or plate, mix ½ cup of tightly packed grated cheese, ¼ cup finely chopped onions, ¼ to ½ teaspoon pizza seasoning, oregano, chili flakes, and fresh coriander. You can use regular plain cheese or cheddar cheese.
   
3. Mix the stuffing ingredients thoroughly.
   
4. Pinch two small balls from the dough and roll them between your palms. Flatten them and dust with whole wheat flour.
   
5. Using a rolling pin, roll them into rounds about 4 to 5 inches in diameter. Aim for both rounds to be the same size.
   
6. Place the cheese stuffing in the center of one of the rolled dough circles. Be careful not to overstuff or understuff the filling.
   
7. Roll the dough and place the stuffed paratha on a hot tava (griddle). Cook over medium to medium-high heat until golden brown and crispy.
   
8. Once cooked, you can wrap the paratha in an Ekvee food wrap to keep it fresh and hot for 4-5 hours. The food wrap is greaseproof and will prevent the paratha from becoming soggy.
