Preparing the Dough for Chicken Cheese Paratha
Ingredients:
- 3 cups sifted white flour
- 1.5 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 3 tbsp melted ghee (clarified butter)
- 1 cup water (or as needed)
- 1 tsp melted ghee
- Additional melted ghee for greasing and frying
- 1 cheddar cheese slice
- 1 tbsp melted ghee
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the sifted flour and salt.
- Gradually add the melted ghee to the flour mixture and rub it in with your fingertips until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add water gradually, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

- Divide the rested dough into equal-sized portions.
- Roll out each portion into a thin, circular shape. Place a spoonful of the chicken filling and bring the edges to cover the filling and make a circle. Make it a circular paratha and it’s ready to fry.
