Mughlai parathas are a famous street dish in West Bengal. They are stuffed with vegetables and cottage cheese.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup wheat flour
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
2 green chillies, finely chopped
½ cup finely chopped or grated vegetables of choice (beans, carrot, peas, capsicum, cabbage)
½ cup crushed paneer
1 teaspoon coriander powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon kitchen king masala
Salt to taste
Oil
METHOD
In a bowl, place the flour, salt and 1 teaspoon of oil. Mix well and knead the dough.
Rest it for 20 to 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat a pan and add some oil to it.
Once the oil is heated, add the onion followed by the ginger-garlic paste and sauté well.
Now add the chillies and the vegetables and mix well.
Add the crushed paneer.
Add salt and the powdered spices and cook on a high flame till the mixture is dry.
Turn the heat off and let the mixture cool down.
Take a large piece of dough and roll it to form a large and thin roti.
Add the prepared mixture in the centre and spread evenly in a square shape.
Fold all the 4 sides of the paratha carefully, forming a square. Make sure no side is open.
Heat a tawa and carefully place the paratha on it.
Cook it well on both sides till it turns crispy golden brown.
