Description

Afghani Fateer is Afghani bread which is delicious in taste. I came across Afghani Fateer Pyazi which I experimented successfully using paneer stuffing. You can replace paneer with any other protein of your choice which can be grated.

Ingredients (serve 4 breads):

  • 1 ยฝ cups all purpose flour/ maida
  • ยฝ tsp Salt
  • ยฝ tsp Yeast
  • Water as required
  • 2-3 tbsp melted Butter
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 ยฝ cup grated paneer (Indian cottage cheese)
  • 1 inch ginger finely chopped
  • ยผ cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 tsp cumin-coriander powder
  • 1 medium size onion
  • ยฝ tsp garam masala
  • ยฝ tsp red chili powder
  • ยฝ tsp amchur powder (dry mango powder)

Procedure:

In a bowl add flour, yeast, salt and water. Mix it well and knead the dough for 5 minutes. Grease with oil and wrap it with a cling/ plastic wrap and leave it for 20 minutes.

In a bowl, add in grated paneer, thin sliced onion, finely chopped ginger, chopped cilantro, cumin-coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, amchur powder and salt. Combine all ingredients together and keep aside.

Now divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Take one part and roll it out as thin as you can. Apply melted butter and spread evenly a thin layer of the paneer-onions mixture over the dough.

Roll it out as shown in the picture. Similarly roll out all other dough balls, cover it with a cotton napkin and rest for 10 minutes.

Now press it with light hands and give it a circular shape as shown in picture then prick all over it with a fork. Place each paratha (flatbread) in a baking tray. Apply milk wash. And bake it until it turns out golden brown (15-20 min)

Serve hot with raita or Indian pickle.
