Ingredients

For Dough

1/2 Cup Ragi Flour
1/2 Cup whole wheat flour
1 Tsp salt
1/2 Cup + 2-3 Tbsp water to knead

For Filling

Red bell pepper- 1/4 Cup
Green bell pepper- 1/4 Cup
Yellow bell pepper- 1/4 Cup
Orange bell pepper- 1/4 Cup
1/4 Cup sweet corn
3 Tblsp olives finely chopped
2 Tsp Italian seasoning
1 Tsp chili flakes
3 Tblsp pizza sauce
1 Cup mozzarella cheese
1/2 Tsp salt
Oil for cooking
Dry flour to dust

Instructions

In a mixing bowl combine ragi flour, whole wheat flour salt, and oil. make a soft dough using water. Make sure you are careful while adding water. By any chance, if you added extra water just take extra whole wheat flour and then knead to make the dough.
Take another bowl to make the filling. Add bell peppers, sweet corn, olives, cheese, red chili flakes, Italian seasoning, pizza sauce, and salt. Give a nice mix. As soon as you make filling use it asap. Due to salt bell peppers starts releasing water. Even after a few minutes, it will be difficult to fill.
Now Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Make smooth balls from each portion.
Roll it into a 5-6″ circle. Don’t roll very thin. Make two rotis(flatbreads) of the same size and keep them ready.
Spread 5-6 tblsp filling on one of the rolled roti (flatbread).Except on the edges spread all over nicely.
Now place another rolled roti over this and seal gently on the edges with the help of a fork. Press slightly don’t press too hard otherwise the dough will break and filling will come out. Press gently so that filling sets in between the two layers.
Heat a griddle on medium flame. And once it is hot enough place this rolled paratha on the griddle.
Cook on low heat for 1-2 minutes and then flip it on another side.
Again take 1-2 minutes to cook paratha before applying oil. Paratha should look golden brown.
Apply oil and cook for few seconds from both sides. One paratha should take minimum 5-6 minutes to cook on the griddle on medium heat. Otherwise, it will be raw from inside.
Nachni Pizza Paratha or pizza paratha is ready to enjoy.

Notes

Add red chili flakes as per choice. This quantity does not make this paratha spicy.
You can add onion too. I did not add due to the shortage at the time of cooking.
Any kind of vegetables will work to fill inside the paratha.
For the dough, you can use only refined flour or whole wheat flour and any millet flour. This pizza filling enhances the flavor and so kids eat without a fuss. I find it a great way to feed healthy grains.
Chop vegetables very fine, else it will be a difficult task to stuff.
