Expert Tips

• Dough texture - I keep the dough soft and non sticky. If dough is too tight it may not roll easily and can break while rolling.
• Removing water - I keep the chopped vegetables aside and remove extra water from it. This helps to avoid soggy filling and keeps it better.
• Rolling - I roll paratha evenly so that stuffing spreads well inside. Do not make it too thin or filling may come out.
• Sealing - I press and seal the edges properly so filling does not come out while cooking. If not sealed well it can open up.
• Cooking - I cook in medium flame till both sides get golden spots. This help to cook inside properly and gives good texture.

Serving and Storage

Serve Pizza Paratha hot with sauce or chutney. This goes well as dinner or snack. It is best to eat fresh when cheese is soft. If storing, reheat on tawa before serving.
