Cheese and potato chapatti sandwich
This chapatti sandwich is super comforting
Servings: 4
Calories: 352kcal
Equipment
- 2 bowl
- Skillet
Ingredients
For the chapattis
- 200 g chapatti flour plus extra for dusting
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 140 ml water
For the filling
- 100 g paneer grated
- 50 g Cheddar cheese grated
- 1 small potato boiled and grated
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp chilli powder
- 1/2 tsp amchoor (mango powder)
- 1 small green chilli finely chopped
- 10 g fresh coriander leaves finely chopped
For toasting the sandwiches
- sunflower oil
- black mustard seeds
Method
- To make the chapattis, put the flour and salt into a bowl and gradually add just enough of the water (or a little more, if necessary) to form a soft dough. Knead for two minutes, then cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
- Divide the dough into eight equal portions. Roll out each portion on a lightly floured surface to a circle 15–18cm across. Heat a skillet until hot, and cook each chapatti for one minute each side on a low-to-medium heat, until slightly golden.
- To make the filling, combine the ingredients in a bowl.
- To toast the sandwiches, use the same skillet you used to cook the chapattis. Drizzle with a tiny bit of oil and, once hot, add a pinch of mustard seeds. When they start to sizzle, lay a chapatti in the pan and spread with a quarter of the filling. Place another chapatti on top and cook for a minute on a low-to-medium heat, until the underside is golden. Turn and cook for a minute on the other side, then remove to a plate.
