Ingredients
For the Vegetable Filling
For the Potato Filling
- 2 medium Potatoes boiled and mashed
- 1 tbsp Oil
- 1/2 tsp Ginger-Garlic Paste
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder haldi
- 1/4 tsp Chili Powder red
- 1 tsp Coriander dhania, ground
- 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1 tbsp Coriander dhania, chopped
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes. This softens the onions and develops their sweetness.
- Add the chopped bell pepper and grated carrot to the pan. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes until slightly softened but still retaining some crunch.
- Stir in the soy sauce and salt. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In the same pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. This blooms the aromatics and adds depth of flavor.
- Add the mashed potatoes, turmeric powder, red chili powder, ground coriander, and salt. Mix well to combine.
- Sauté for 2-3 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
- Stir in the chopped cilantro. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Take one chapati and spread half of the vegetable filling evenly over it. Top with another chapati.
- Spread half of the grated cheese over the chapati. Top with another chapati.
- Spread half of the potato filling over the chapati. Top with the final chapati.
- Heat a flat griddle or pan over medium heat. Grease the pan with 1 tablespoon of butter. Place the stuffed chapati on the griddle.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy, applying the remaining butter as needed. Even cooking on both sides ensures a crispy and flavorful paratha.
- Cut the paratha into four pieces and serve hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For an extra crispy paratha, lightly brush the outer sides with ghee or butter before toasting on the skillet and press gently with a spatula as it cooks.
- To add a protein boost, mix in some scrambled paneer or cooked, crumbled tofu with the veggie filling—this also makes the dish more satiating for brunch.
- For a tangy twist, layer a thin spread of green chutney or a touch of tomato ketchup inside the paratha before adding the cheese and vegetables.
- If making ahead, assemble the filled parathas and store them in the fridge separated with parchment paper; reheat on the skillet just before serving for a fresh, melty interior.
Expert Tips
- Experiment with different cheeses! While cheddar and mozzarella are classic choices, try using Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or even a crumbled feta for a unique flavor profile.
- Don't overfill the parathas. Too much filling can make them difficult to fold and seal, leading to leakage during cooking.
- For even cooking, ensure your skillet or griddle is preheated to a medium temperature before adding the parathas.
Storage Instructions
- Leftover parathas can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a skillet or microwave until warmed through.
