Chapati Ladoo Ingredients

• Chapati - Use leftover chapati or roti. It is ok if the chapati is hard, you can still use it for this ladoo.
• Ghee - Use fresh ghee for best taste.

How to make Chapati Ladoo Step by Step

1.Take leftover around 6 rotis / chapatis.

2.Tear it roughly.

3.Transfer to a dry mixer jar.

4.Add 3 tablespoon jaggery to it.

5.Grind to a coarse mixture.

6.Transfer to a mixing bowl. Add 1 and ½ tablespoon almonds along with 2 tablespoon ghee and a pinch of cardamom powder.

7.Mix it well.

8.Take the mixture press, hold tight and shape them as ladoos.

9.Chapati ladoo is ready. Repeat to finish.

Expert Tips

• Tear chapati roughly - I tore leftover chapati into rough pieces before grinding. This helps it grind better with jaggery.
• Grinding  - I ground the mixture coarse and not to a fine powder. This gives nice texture.
• Mixing - I mixed jaggery, ghee and cardamom evenly into the ground chapati. This ensures each ladoo taste the same.
• Press firmly - I pressed mixture tight in my palm and hold for few seconds. This helps ladoos stay intact without falling apart.
• Use dry leftover chapati - I used leftover chapati because it is dry. Fresh chapati has moisture and makes mixture sticky and difficult to shape.
• Don't add extra ghee - I added just enough ghee to bind mixture. Extra ghee makes it too oily and ladoos does not hold shape.

Serving & Storage

You can serve the ladoo as a tea time snack along with coffee or tea. You can also pack it for kids snack box. Keeps well in room temperature for 2 days and you can extend the shelf life for 2 more days when kept in fridge.

FAQS

1. Can I use fresh chapati?

Fresh chapati has too much moisture and makes mixture sticky. Leftover dry chapati works much better for shaping.

2. Can I use regular sugar instead of jaggery?

Yes you can use regular sugar but reduce the amount. White sugar is sweeter so use less quantity.

3. What if I don't have almonds?

You can use cashews, walnuts or other nuts. You can also powder the nuts fine if your kid does not like coarse bits.

4. How long do ladoos stay fresh?

They stay good for 2 days at room temperature. After that they start to harden so make small batches.

5. Can I freeze them?

Freezing change the texture and taste. Better to make fresh and eat within two days at room temperature.

About Cheese Paratha

Cheese Paratha is a flavorful Indian flatbread made with a stuffing of grated cheese and mild spices. It's one of the most loved parathas by children and is often served as a special breakfast or packed into lunchboxes. The paratha is roasted until crisp outside while the cheese melts beautifully inside.

This is a quick and easy-to-make recipe with simple ingredients. This recipe also includes grated carrots, which enhance the nutrition and add a slight crunch to the filling. You can easily make it even on a busy morning or after a long day. The parathas are soft yet crisp on the edges and stay good for a few hours when packed.

Carrot Cheese Paratha is one of the regular stuffed paratha that I pack for mittu's lunchbox. The idea of stuffing was given by a dear friend during our casual talk and I loved the idea. First I was stuffing just cheese then started to combine carrots along with it to make it even more healthy and filling.

Cheese Paratha Ingredients

• Wheat flour - Used for making the dough, gives a wholesome base to the paratha. It's a healthier alternative for maida.
• Water, oil - Used to knead the dough to the right consistency - soft and non-sticky. 
• Carrots - Adds a slight crunch and sweetness to the stuffing. Also adds nutrition to the dish.
• Cheese - This is the key ingredient. It gives a creamy, melty, gooey texture. Adds a rich flavor and taste.
• Roasted jeera powder - Adds an earthy flavor and warmth to the filling. 
• Chaat masala powder - Adding a slight amount gives a light tangy twist and lifts the flavor of the cheese.

How to make Cheese Paratha Step by Step

1.In a wide mixing bowl add wheat flour, salt and first give a quick mix for salt to be even. Then add water little by little, gather to form a soft pliable dough. Once it is gathered to a mass add ½ teaspoon oil and knead it once. The dough should not be too tight or too loose, it should be non sticky at this stage. Allow it to rest for a while until we prepare the stuffing.

2.Trim the edges, scrap off the outer skin and grate the carrots. Dry roast grated carrot in a pan for 3-5 minutes. Then in a mixing bowl add carrot, grated cheese, roasted jeera powder and chat masala powder.

3.Give a quick mix. Make equal sized balls with the chapati dough and make it ready. Roll each ball into a thick circle, keep the stuffing in the middle seal it by pulling all the edges to the center as shown below.

4.Seal it completely, flip over and sprinkle flour.

5.Then roll it into a thin / thick parathas as per your preference, dust flour then and there to avoid sticking. Heat a dosa pan and carefully transfer the paratha, drizzle oil / ghee. Once it starts to bubble on one side.

6.Flip over to other side and cook till brown spots appear here and there. It nicely puffs up like poori, just press it.

Serve it hot with plain curd or tomato sauce and garlic pickle. What else do you need?! Yum combo!!

Expert Tips

• Kneading the Dough - Make sure the dough is soft but not sticky. A well-kneaded dough gives soft, easy-to-roll parathas. Rest it for 15 minutes then start rolling.
• Carrots - Use the fine side of the grater to make the grating fine. I did not sauté the carrots, added it raw as it gets cooked while toasting the parathas.
• Stuffing - Keep the filling dry. Squeeze out any excess moisture from carrots if needed before mixing with cheese.
• Sealing - Don't overfill. Seal well the sides after placing the stuffing and gently flatten before rolling.
• Rolling - Dust with flour and roll gently to prevent the stuffing from coming out. Use even pressure across the paratha.
• Cooking - Cook on medium heat and flip a couple of times. Press gently at the edges to ensure even roasting.
• Cheese - You can use mozzarella or processed cheese. You can also try a mix of cheese and paneer for variation.

Serving and Storage

Serve Cheese Paratha hot with tomato ketchup, curd, or your favorite pickle. It's also delicious with green chutney or just plain butter.

You can store the dough and stuffing separately in the fridge for a day. Prepare fresh parathas when needed. Leftover parathas can be reheated in a tawa and served hot.

FAQS
