If you’ve ever thought you don’t just cook parathas but create them, then it’s time to add the ultimate sweet dessert to your types of paratha recipes. Presenting the strawberry cheesecake paratha, a sweet twist on the classic Indian flatbread. As the name suggests, this dish includes a soft paratha, especially made from a dough of Aashirvaad 100% MP Sharbati Atta. This is not your usual paratha, and thus requires atta with enhanced water absorption, a pleasant aroma, high-quality grains, and the ability to keep flatbreads tender for a long time. The filling is made from a mix of fresh strawberries and cream cheese, which gives it a sweet and slightly tangy note, resembling a strawberry cheesecake. It’s soft, rich, and an unusual dessert-style fusion paratha, perfect for those who love a little experiment on their plates.

Directions

Description - Step 1

Prepare the dough

In a bowl, mix flour, salt, and sugar. Add oil or melted butter and rub lightly into the flour. Gradually add warm milk or water and knead the mix into a soft, smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Description - Step 3

Stuff and roll the parathas

Divide the dough into equal balls. Roll one ball into a 4-inch disc, then place 1½–2 tbsp of filling in the centre. Carefully gather the edges, seal tightly, and flatten gently. Be careful, as too much pressure can tear the paratha. Dust lightly with flour, then roll into a 5–6-inch disc. Keep the paratha slightly thicker than a regular paratha to avoid leakage.

Description - Step 4

Cook the parathas

Heat a tawa on medium-low heat. Place the rolled paratha on it and cook for 40–50 seconds. Now, flip and apply butter or ghee. Flip again and cook until golden brown on both sides. Press gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking. Repeat for the rest. Avoid cooking the paratha on very high heat, as cream cheese needs time to warm through without burning the exterior. Serve it hot.
