I am married to a serious foodie, so meal times in my house are never dull. My husband has a palate sharp enough to rival food critics and a knack for discovering viral recipes that he slyly sends my way-always with the hope that I'll recreate them. A recent gem he sent me? A no-knead, crispy, cheesy anda paratha recipe from the Instagram page cookingwithbenazir. And let me tell you - this one's a game-changer. What got me hooked was the simplicity. No kneading, no rolling, no mess-just whisk, pour, and cook.
The batter-based method makes it feel more like making pancakes than parathas, and the result is a crispy, cheesy delight that's loaded with flavour and double the protein.

How To Make Crispy Egg Cheese Parantha I Cheesy Anda Parantha Recipe:
Most of us associate parathas with elbow grease- the kneading, rolling, stuffing, and flipping can be a workout in itself. But this version throws all that out the window. You just make a thick, pourable batter using flour, milk, eggs, and a handful of chopped veggies. Once whisked well and rested for 10 minutes, the batter transforms into a smooth, pour-and-spread mix ready for the pan.
Cooking it is a breeze too. Pour the batter into a heated pan and spread it evenly like a dosa or chilla. As it starts to set, you flip it, then crack a fresh egg right on top, season, and give it a quick whisk directly on the paratha. It cooks into the surface, adding flavour and protein without any extra fuss.
And then comes the best part - the cheese layer. Once both sides are cooked to a golden crisp, you top it with slices of cheese, mozzarella, chilli flakes, oregano, and some fresh coriander. Cover it for a minute and let that gooey, stretchy cheese work its magic. The melted cheese combined with the crisp edges of the paratha creates that ideal bite- crunchy, soft, spicy, and cheesy all at once.
It's indulgent, yes. But also satisfying and surprisingly easy to whip up, even on a sleepy morning. The recipe makes about five to six parathas, so it's perfect for sharing... or not!
