Ingredients
For the Fried Rice Filling
- 1 cup Rice cooked
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 Spring Onion chopped
- 1 Bell Peppers chopped, red and yellow
- 1 cup Cauliflower Florets chopped
- 1 tsp Soy Sauce
- 1 tsp Vinegar
- 1 tsp Chili Sauce
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1/2 tsp Chili Powder red
For the Dough
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1/3 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1 cup Water
For Assembling the Pizza Paratha
- 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Tomato Sauce
- 4 slices Cheese Slices
- 1/2 cup Mozzarella Cheese grated
- 1 tsp Oregano Flakes
- 1/2 tsp Chili Flakes
Instructions
- In a wok or large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. This will prevent sticking and add flavor.
- Add the chopped spring onion, bell peppers, and cauliflower florets to the pan. Sauté until the vegetables are slightly softened but still retain some crunch.
- Add the cooked rice to the pan and mix well with the vegetables. This ensures even distribution of flavors.
- Stir in the soy sauce, vinegar, chili sauce, salt, and red chili powder. The sauces add umami and depth of flavor.
- Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add water while mixing until a smooth and pliable dough forms. Knead for a few minutes until elastic.
- Divide the dough into 3 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin, round chapati (about 7-8 inches in diameter).
- Spread mayonnaise on one chapati and top with two cheese slices. Add a layer of the prepared fried rice, followed by a generous sprinkle of grated mozzarella cheese.
- Spread tomato sauce on another chapati and place it on top of the first chapati, sauce-side down, to create a double-decker effect. Seal the edges by gently pressing them together.
- Cook the paratha on a preheated tawa or griddle over medium heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
- Spread mayonnaise and tomato sauce on the top chapati. Top with the remaining two cheese slices, fried rice, and grated mozzarella cheese.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the assembled paratha for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will create a perfectly gooey and satisfying texture.
- Sprinkle with chili flakes and oregano flakes. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra crispiness, lightly brush the outside of the paratha with melted butter and toast it on a hot tawa or skillet until golden brown on both sides. Press gently with a spatula to ensure even browning.
- If preparing ahead, assemble the filled parathas, layer them with parchment paper, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Cook fresh as needed for best texture.
- To enhance the tangy flavor, consider adding a small spoonful of Schezwan sauce or a sprinkle of chaat masala to the filling before sealing the paratha.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based butter and vegan cheese, and ensure your paratha dough contains no dairy ingredients.
Expert Tips
- Don't overfill the parathas, as this can make them difficult to seal and prone to bursting during cooking.
- Use a medium heat when cooking the parathas to ensure they cook through evenly without burning.
- Serve hot with your favorite accompaniments like raita, pickle, or chutney.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover parathas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on a tawa or in a microwave until warmed through.
