Chili Cheese Paratha Triangles
Chili cheese paratha triangles are flaky parathas filled with a chili cheese mixture. The parathas are brushed with chili garlic oil which adds so much flavor to it. I air fried these triangles to get it super crispy and the cheese so melty! Every bite is crispy, flaky and filled with melted spicy cheese. These are are a great snack for tea time or appetizers at a get together. You can’t go wrong with this appetizer recipe. Who doesn’t love parathas and cheese?

On two of the 4 pcs spread cheese mixture.
Top the two pcs with the other 2 pcs and seal the edges.

Notes/Tips:
I used a flaky onion malabar paratha.
Fill in as much cheese as you can.
If you want to bake it, bake at 380F for 18-24 mins, flipping it midway. You can also grill it on a pan.
Be sure to brush the oil on outside and inside which helps make it crispier and cook well.
Seal it well before cooking.
You can fill and seal these and keep it ready in the fridge or freezer. Cook it just before serving. Do not thaw! It will need to cook for 3-4 mins more if frozen.
