  • Chopped green chilies – 4 (adjust for spice preference)
  • Turmeric powder – 1/8 tsp
  • Red chili flakes – ½ tsp
  • Cumin seeds – ½ tsp
  • Chopped coriander leaves – 2 tbsp
  • Salt – to taste
  • Oil – 2 tsp + for cooking
  • Water – as needed

Method

Step 1: Prepare the Potato Mixture

  1. Boil 2 medium potatoes and mash them in a bowl.
  2. Add finely chopped green chilies, cumin seeds, red chili flakes, turmeric powder, chopped coriander leaves, and salt.
  3. Mix in ½ cup grated cheese or as per your preference.
  4. Combine everything well to create a smooth, flavorful stuffing.

Step 2: Make the Dough

  1. In a separate bowl, add 2 cups wheat flour.
  2. Gradually add water, little by little, and knead into a soft dough like you would for regular roti.
  3. Add 2 tsp oil while kneading to make the dough smooth and pliable.
  4. Cover and rest for 5–10 minutes.

Step 3: Roll the Paratha

  1. Take a small portion of the dough and roll it into a small circle. Dust lightly with flour to prevent sticking.
  2. Place a spoonful of the potato-cheese mixture in the center.
  3. Fold the edges over the filling to seal it. You can shape it like a ball or semi-circle.
  4. Gently roll it out again into a circle or oval, making sure the filling doesn’t spill out.

Pro Tip: Roll gently for layered parathas or simply like a regular roti for a quick version.

Step 4: Cook the Paratha

  1. Heat a tawa or flat pan on medium heat.
  2. Place the rolled paratha on the hot tawa and cook for 1–2 minutes until golden spots appear.
  3. Flip and drizzle a little ghee or oil on the cooked side.
  4. Cook the other side similarly until golden and crisp.

Press gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.

Step 5: Serve Hot

  1. Serve immediately with pickle, yogurt, or your favorite chutney.
  2. These parathas are perfect for breakfast, tiffin, or a quick lunch

Enjoy these hot, soft, and cheesy parathas straight from your kitchen. Trust me, they disappear faster than you can make them!

Tips & Tricks

  1. Use soft boiled potatoes – Mash them well for smooth filling.
  2. Adjust spice – Add or reduce green chilies and red chili flakes according to taste.
  3. Cheese choice – Processed cheese melts beautifully, but you can also use mozzarella for extra stretchiness.
  4. Rest the dough – Allowing the dough to rest makes the paratha softer.
  5. Layered paratha option – Roll and fold for flaky layers, or keep it simple for quick parathas.
