Why paratha dough in a mixie?
To make perfect dhabba style paratha we knead the dough well but mixie grinding helps for less kneading.
Tips for mixie dough
Make sure you use a powerful mixie or grinder Preferably use warm water. Avoid boiling water The size of the mixie jar should be 3 times compare the quantity of the dough
TIPS TO NOTE FOR PARATHA DOUGH
Always prepare a moist dough for paratha. Paratha dough should be a non-sticky, and soft dough, without any cracks. If you add less water dough might crack and it won’t hold the stuffing. Pliable soft dough makes for the best paratha. Also, it is important to knead the dough well or grind the mixie dough. Adding ghee and oil to paratha dough gives a lot of difference in cheese-stuffed paratha texture so don’t skip it.
can I use shredded cheese instead of cheese slices?
Yea you can also use shredded cheese. I prefer cheese slice as it gives perfect gooey cheese burst paratha.
Should I sprinkle garlic salt?
It is optional but it gives flavor to the cheese. Avoid adding more as it might turn paratha salty.
WHY SHOULD I ADD GHEE BEFORE PLACING THE STUFFING?
I prefer adding a layer of ghee before adding the stuffing. It helps for puffy tasty paratha.
OPTIMAL HEAT FOR COOKING PARATHA?
When you are cooking paratha, maintaining the heat from low - the medium is the key. Add ghee and cook the paratha. Press it gently with a spatula often so that it is evenly cooked.
SHOULD I USE GHEE WHILE MAKING cheese-STUFFED PARATHA?
No, you can use any cooking oil but ghee gives a nice aroma and make the paratha super tasty.
