All-time favourite ghughras with an off-beat stuffing, this snack is sure to bowl you over with its flawless texture and exciting taste!

We have used a mixture of French beans and paneer flavoured with a dash of green chilli paste as the filling for the ghughras. The ghughras themselves have a very nice texture as the dough is made with sufficient ghee.

We have not shaped this snack like traditional ghughras just to make things easier and quicker for you, but if you wish to boost the visual appeal by shaping it like authentic ghughras, you can.

Prepare the stuffing just before you make the snack because it will release water. While frying the Ghughra with Fansi and Paneer Stuffing, maintain a medium flame because the stuffing will remain uncooked if you fry on a high flame.

Serve this tasty snack with green chutney. You can also try other recipes like the Vatana na Ghughra , and the Spinach and Cheese Sambousek .

For the dough

Combine all the ingredients in a deep bowl, add enough water and knead into a firm dough. Cover with a lid and keep aside for 15 minutes.

For the stuffing

Heat the oil in a broad non-stick pan, add the onions and sauté on a medium flame for 1 minute.

Switch off the flame, add the paneer and coriander and mix very well. Keep aside.

How to proceed

Divide the dough into 25 equal portions.
Roll out a portion of the dough into a 75 mm. (3") diameter circle.
Put approx. ½ tbsp. Of the prepared stuffing on one half and fold to make a semi-circle and seal tightly.

Heat the oil in a deep non-stick pan and deep-fry, a few ghughras at a time on a medium flame till they turn golden brown in colour from all the sides. Drain on an absorbent paper.
Serve immediately with green chutney.

What a DELICIOUS recipe of ghughra! My kids enjoyed eating it as the sweet-sour taste, sour taste because of lime juice and the sweet taste because of raisins just made the filling lip smacking. Tarlaji and her team, this is from within, THANK YOU.
