For Cooking and Garnish

  • 3 tbspSalted President Butter
  • 1 tbspTandoori masala compound butter

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1.Prepare Garlic Butter for Dough

    Cut approximately 200g of Salted President Butter and place it in a small pot. Add 1 tsp of minced garlic to the butter. Melt the butter and garlic over low heat, then set aside.

  2. 2.Prepare the Paratha Dough

    In a large bowl, place 300-350g of flour. Pour the 200ml of melted garlic butter into the flour. Add salt as per taste and 1 tsp of red chili powder. Mix all ingredients by hand until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

  3. 3.Knead the Dough

    Gradually add 200-220ml of warm water to the flour mixture. Knead the mixture thoroughly to form a soft, pliable dough. Once kneaded, cover the dough and let it rest for a while.

  4. 4.Prepare Paneer and Potato Base

    Unwrap 100-150g of Thirumala Fresh Paneer. Grate the paneer into a wooden bowl. Grate 2 steamed potatoes into the same bowl.

  5. 5.Mix the Filling

    To the grated paneer and potatoes, add salt as per taste, 1 tsp chaat masala, 1 tbsp green chilies, 1 tbsp red chilies, and 250g chopped onions. Mix all these ingredients thoroughly by hand.

  6. 6.Add Cheese to Filling and Form Balls

    Add 50g of President Mozzarella & Cheddar Cheese Mix to the filling and mix well. Form small balls (approximately 75g each) from the prepared filling mixture.

  7. 7.Stuff and Roll Parathas

    Take a portion of the rested dough and flatten it into a small disc on a lightly floured surface using a rolling pin. Place one filling ball in the center of the dough disc. Bring the edges of the dough together and pinch to seal the filling inside. Gently roll out the filled dough ball into a paratha of your desired thickness. Repeat this process for the remaining dough and filling.

  8. 8.Pan-Roast the Parathas

    Heat a tawa (griddle) over a medium flame. Place a rolled paratha on the hot tawa. Lightly pan-roast the paratha on both sides until it's slightly cooked and has light brown spots. This initial cooking helps to set the paratha.

  9. 9.Cook with Butter

    Once the paratha is lightly cooked, slice 2 tbsp of Salted President Butter and add it around the paratha on the tawa. Gently press the paratha with your hand to help it cook evenly and absorb the butter. Add an additional 1 tbsp of Salted President Butter on top of the paratha. Flip the paratha and cook until it achieves a beautiful golden-brown color and is crispy on both sides.

  10. 10.Serve and Garnish

    Remove the cooked paratha from the tawa and place it on a serving plate. Slice 1 tbsp of tandoori masala compound butter and place it on top of the hot paratha for an enhanced flavor experience. Serve the delicious Cheese and Paneer Paratha hot, ideally with raita or your favorite accompaniment.
