How to Make Pizza Stuffed Paratha

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Add one tablespoon of oil and mix well.

Slowly add water and knead until you get a soft and smooth dough. Cover it and let it rest for about 15–20 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

In another bowl, combine the grated cheese, onions, capsicum, tomatoes, sweet corn, and olives.

Add the pizza sauce, oregano, chilli flakes, and a pinch of salt. Mix everything thoroughly.

Step 3: Stuff the Paratha

Divide the dough into equal portions.

Roll one portion into a small circle and place two to three tablespoons of filling in the centre.

Bring the edges together, seal the dough, and gently flatten it.

Dust with flour and carefully roll it into a medium-sized paratha.

Step 4: Cook Until Golden

Heat a tawa over medium heat.

Place the paratha on the hot tawa and cook for about one minute on each side.

Apply a little Purti Soyalite Refined Soyabean Oil on both sides and continue cooking until the paratha turns crisp and golden brown.

Repeat the process for the remaining dough portions.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Slice the paratha into wedges and sprinkle some oregano and chilli flakes on top.

Serve hot with tomato ketchup, mint chutney, or your favourite dip.
