Fry the Streaky Bacon Rashers to a crisp & crumble or dice up
Mince or grate the Paneer
In a bowl add the Streaky Bacon, Paneer, Green Chillies & all Spices—Mix to combine—set aside
Mix the paratha dough together & make 8-10 dough balls—on a platter sprinkle some dry flour/ atta for dusting
Take 2 balls at a time & roll out each into abt 10 cm diameter thick discs—dusting as needed to prevent sticking
Take a spoonful/small ball of the stuffing mix & place onto one dough disc, spreading it a bit
Now take the second dough disc & place on top of the first with the mixture—press down along the edges tightly to seal the stuffing in
Dust the paratha with flour & gently roll out to abt 18-20 cm in diameter—turning as required
Heat on medium a ‘tava’ or any non-stick fry pan- drizzle a bit of ghee/butter-cook the paratha for a few seconds till it gets a nice golden-brown colour & small brownish spots start to appear
Turn over slowly so as not to break it-cook for an- other few seconds—smear the top with more ghee/butter
Remove & drain off any excess ghee/butter on a kitchen tissue. Repeat the process for the balance dough balls to make more parathas
The end is a deliciously crispy on-the-outside yet soft & tasteful on-the-inside paratha
Serve hot with a dollop of butter & a side serve of fresh Raita (Indian Yoghurt) or Green Chutney
Voila! Enjoy your Bacon & Chilli Paneer Stuffed Paratha with hot ‘chai’ or coffee.
