Cheddar Paratha

Cheddar one of the favorite cheeses of America, with a salty nutty taste is my favorite Cheese too.The Sharp cheddar with the yellow color makes it pretty for garnishing almost anything..So yesterday i was eager to try the slight variation of Paneer paratha with Cheddar. Its easy and very tasty too... Again this recipe goes to Poornima's My Favorite Things :Cheese Event and Bindya's Blog.

Boiled Potato -1
Medium Chick peas / Garbanzo Beans - 1 can or 1 cup cooked

Sauteed Onion - 1/4 cup
Grated Sharp Cheddar - 1/4 cup
Luke warm water - to knead into soft dough
Amchur Powder / Dry Mango Powder - 1 tsp
Red Chilli Powder - 1 tsp
Chat Powder - 1/2 tsp
Olive oil - 2 tsp
Salt & Sugar - 1/4 tsp ( sugar along with salt brings out the flavor of wheat)
Cilantro / Coriander Leaves - a small amount

Cover it with a clear plastic wrap and set aside for 1/2 hr. Knead the dough again and take equal parts of the dough ball, roll it with a rolling pin and throw in a hot tawa and cook until both sides are done approximately a couple of minutes on both sides or till brown dots appear. Apply a little Ghee or Butter immediately after taking out the tawa and store in a hot box. Serve hot with any Raita of your choice or Mint chutney and Enjoy ...

Variations : This can also be done with any other type of peas apart from chick peas, and also with different kinds of cheese, like instead of paneer, we can choose ricotta to be even more softer.
