what is methi cheese paratha made of?

See the below image of list of ingredients for making methi cheese paratha recipe.

how to make the dough

In a deep bowl, add 1 cup whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta). Wheat flour forms the base of the paratha dough. It creates a strong and elastic structure that can be rolled out thinly without tearing.
Add salt to taste.
Add ½ cup water.

Knead into a soft dough using enough water.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Keep aside.

how to make the stuffing

In a deep bowl, add 2 cups finely chopped fenugreek (methi) leaves.
Add a little salt. Salt helps draw out excess moisture from the fenugreek leaves. This is important because too much moisture can make the paratha filling soggy and difficult to work with.
Mix well and keep it aside for 15 minutes.

Squeeze out all the excess water and keep aside.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a broad non-stick pan.
Add ½ tsp cumin seeds (jeera).
When the seeds crackle, add ¼ cup finely chopped onions. Onions add a layer of savory depth to the paratha. When sauteed, they caramelize slightly, releasing natural sugars that contribute sweetness and complexity to the overall flavor profile.
Add ½ tsp ginger (adrak) paste. Ginger paste adds a warm, aromatic quality to the stuffing.

Add 2 tsp finely chopped green chillies. The primary function of green chillies is to add a touch of heat to the paratha.
Sauté on a medium flame for 1 minute.
Add the fenugreek leaves.
Add ½ tsp dried mango powder (amchur). Amchur powder adds a delightful tanginess to the paratha filling. This acidity balances the richness of the cheese and the slight bitterness of the fenugreek leaves, creating a more complex and interesting flavor profile.
Add ¼ tsp chaat masala.

Add a little salt.
Mix well and cook on a medium flame for 2 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
Keep aside to cool slightly.
Add ½ cup diced mozzarella cheese. Mozzarella cheese melts beautifully when heated, creating a creamy and gooey center within the paratha. This adds a luxurious and satisfying mouthfeel compared to drier cheese options.
Mix well. Divide the stuffing into 6 equal portions and keep aside.

how to proceed

Place a portion of the dough on a clean, dry surface.
Dust with some wheat flour.
Roll out a portion of the dough into a 100 mm. (4") diameter circle using a little whole wheat flour for rolling.
Place one portion of the stuffing in the centre of the circle.
Bring together all the sides in the centre and seal tightly.

Roll out again into a 175 mm. (7") diameter circle, using a little whole wheat flour for rolling.
Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and place the paratha.
Cook it on a medium flame.
