Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1. Prepare the Corn Filling
- Grind fresh corn coarsely. If using frozen corn, thaw it first.
- Heat oil in a pan. Add chopped green chilies and garlic, cook briefly.
- Add chopped onion and fry until slightly softened.
- Add the ground corn, salt, and mix well. Fry for 30 seconds on medium heat until slightly dry.




- Remove from heat and let the mixture cool.
- Once cool, add pizza mix/mixed herbs, crushed black pepper, and cheese. Mix well.


Step 2. Make and Prepare the Dough
- Combine multigrain flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and oil. Add water gradually to form a soft dough. Do not knead too hard.
- Divide the dough into medium-sized balls. Let rest for 10 minutes (optional).


Step 3. Assemble and Cook the Paratha
- Roll out a dough ball, place stuffing in the center, bring all four edges together, flatten, and seal.
- Flatten dough, create a well in the center using your thumbs and fingers, add stuffing, and seal the edges by twisting.
- Roll out the stuffed dough into a paratha. Don't roll too thin if using a lot of stuffing.
- Heat a pan. Cook the paratha for 10-12 seconds on each side, applying ghee or oil as needed.




- Increase the heat, press gently, and cook until golden brown and puffed up.
- Repeat with remaining dough.


Step 4. Serve
- Serve hot with pickle, chutney, or yogurt (optional).
