Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour for dough
- 1 tsp chili flakes
- 1 tsp oregano
- ¼ tsp black pepper powder
- Salt to taste
- 1 tbsp oil for 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.
