Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour for the dough
  
• 1 tsp chili flakes
  
• 1 tsp oregano
  
• ¼ tsp black pepper powder
  
• Salt to taste
• 1 tbsp oil for the dough
  
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh coriander, dhania
  
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
  
• ¼ cup boiled corn kernels
  
• 1 cube processed cheese crumbled
  
• ¼ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  
• ¼ cup paneer crumbled
  
• 2 tbsp chopped green chilies

Instructions

Prepare the Dough:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, chili flakes, oregano, black pepper, salt, oil, and chopped fresh coriander. Gradually add water and knead it into a soft dough. Cover the dough and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
  

Prepare the Filling:

• In a separate bowl, combine the chopped onion, boiled corn, crumbled processed cheese, shredded mozzarella, crumbled paneer, green chilies, chili flakes, oregano, and salt. Mix well to make the cheesy pizza filling.
  

Roll the Paratha:

• Divide the dough into two equal portions and roll each portion into a circular disc. On one disc, place the prepared cheese filling in the center. Cover with the second rolled-out dough and press the edges to seal the paratha well. Use a bowl to trim the edges and form a neat, circular lifafa (envelope) shape.
  

Cook the Parathas:

• Heat a tawa or griddle over medium heat. Place the stuffed lifafa paratha on the tawa and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Apply oil or butter as needed while cooking.
  

Serve:

• Once cooked, serve the stuffed crunchy lifafa paratha hot with a side of your favorite chutney or dip. Enjoy this pizza-inspired paratha that’s crunchy on the outside and cheesy on the inside!
  

Optional Wrapping:

• For added flair, serve the lifafa paratha wrapped in food-grade paper, as it adds to the presentation and keeps it warm longer.
