Delicious, lip-smacking Cheese Coriander Paratha Video Recipe. Oozy cheesy paratha recipe is a kid-friendly recipe that is so tasty! Quick, easy and oh-so-cheesy paratha recipe with step by step pictures!
Yesterday I posted the recipe of Vegetable Jalfrezi and I made these Cheese Coriander Parathas to go with it. Parathas are not quite common from where I come from and the first time I had these were after coming to Bangalore. I had the chance to sample some awesome aloo parathas and see for myself what's so special and good about them. Though I love aloo parathas, I don’t make them often at home. Given the number of options for stuffing the parathas, one doesn’t really need to repeat stuff – right?! A cup of curd and a slice of pickle to go with it, you are in heaven.

Last week, I made up my mind to prepare parathas for dinner and decided to try something different than the usual stuff I prepare all the time. As I was preparing a side dish to go with the parathas, which usually is not the case I decided to try out stuffing cheese in the parathas. Had a light bulb moment while chopping coriander for Vegetable Jalfrezi and added it along with the cheese. I also added a generous pinch of chaat masala powder for an added zing and the parathas turned out lip-smacking! There is a chance that the cheese melts while cooking, so need to careful not to roll the parathas too thin. It’s a bit of an indulgence, stuffing cheese for parathas – but I am sure once in a while we all can treat ourselves 😀

Notes
- Be cautious when adding salt in the cheese stuffing as the cheese is salty, so is the chaat masala powder.
- The cheese is melty and oozy when hot, so prepare the parathas only when you are ready to serve.
- It’s fairly simple to roll out this paratha as the stuffing is very soft. You would be tempted to roll it out too thin, but while cooking the cheese oozes out really fast. Its helps to have a hot tawa while cooking the paratha or else the cheese starts melting from inside slowly.
