Pizza Parantha | Skillet Calzones Recipe
This Indian style veggie calzone or Pizza Parantha is an absolutely easy snack recipe where you get to play your own pizza master. A simple dough rolled and stuffed with whatever pizza recipe topping you have at home. It just can't get easier. My favourite part is slicing it into half and see the melted cheese oozing out of it.
Servings 4 pieces
Equipment
- Stove Top
- Mixing Bowl
- Skillet or Tawa
Ingredients
For the Dough
- 2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
- 2 tbsp Ghee or Vanaspati
- 1 tsp Salt
- Water to knead the dough
For Stuffing
- Mozzarella Cheese
- Sliced Jalapenos
- Sliced Red Paprika
- Sliced Olives
- Dried Herbs
- Pizza Sauce
Instructions
- Mix the Flour with Salt before adding the Ghee and rubbing it in till it becomes smooth and there are no lumps left.
- Now, start kneading the dough by adding water gradually. Once it is soft and supple, keep it covered and allow it to rest.
- Pinch off a ball of dough and roll it big. Then place the topping ingredients on one half and cover it with the rest half.
- Crimp the edges using a fork so that it remains sealed as the cheese melts inside while frying.
- Fry these Paranthas on a hot skillet till they turn golden and crisp on both sides. Don't forget to fry the spine by holding it with a tong.
- Serve hot. Be careful, the melted cheese inside will be hot.
