Equipment
- Oven
Ingredients
Paratha
- 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
- 3/4 cups almond flour
- 1 tbsp butter unsalted
- 1 egg large
Paneer Filling
- 1 cup paneer grated
- 2 tbsp onions finely chopped
- 1 tsp green chilies finely chopped
- 1 tbsp ginger finely chopped
- 1 tbsp cilantro finely chopped
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 1/2 tsp chaat masala
- 1 tsp carom seeds
- 1/2 tsp salt adjust to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F
Paneer Filling
- Grate paneer cheese
- Finely chop cilantro, onions, garlic and ginger
- In a bowl mix the grated paneer, cilantro, chilies, ginger, onion, salt, chaat masala, garam masala powder, carom seeds, cumin powder, coriander powder and chili powder.
- Set aside
Paratha
- Put mozzarella cheese and butter in a bowl. Cut the 1 tbsp butter into 4 small pieces.
- Cook in microwave for 45 seconds. Stir cheese and butter with silicone spatula. Cook another 45 seconds.
- Then mix with silicone spatula. The mozzarella cheese should appear smooth.
- Add the almond flour and egg to the mozzarella cheese mix.
- Mix and fold until the almond flour and egg are well incorporated into the mozzarella dough.
- Divide the dough into 4 parts. Put on silicone mat/parchment paper on a baking tray.
Paneer Stuffed Paratha
- Flatten to about 4 inches and put a heaping spoon of paneer filling on the surface of the dough. Enclose the paneer with the dough making it into a sphere.
- Place the sphere onto the silpat. Flatten and spread outwards with a silicone spatula making a round shaped paratha about 6-8 inches in diameter and 1/8 inch thick.
- Repeat to create a total of four paneer struffed parathas
- Place the stuffed parathas in the oven at 400°F and cook for 10-12 minutes
Notes
- The dough gets very sticky. Wet hands with water if you do not have a silicone spatula to mix the almond flour and eggs into the mozzarella cheese and butter.
- If you do not have a silpat, you can use parchment paper instead.
- The traditional fathead dough recipe uses cream cheese. I replaced with butter to achieve a more buttery taste.
