Cheese Pyaas Paratha (Tortilla stuffed with Cheese & Onions)

1 Cup Wheat Flour (preferably whole wheat flour with no enriched white flour added)
1 Tablespoon very finely chopped Onion
1/2 Teaspoon very finely chopped Ginger
Salt to taste
Water as per requirement to combine flour into a ball
3/4th cup Shredded Cheese (preferably mild Cheddar)
4-5 Teaspoons mashed boiled Carrot


Mix Cheese, mashed Carrot and Onion and keep aside. Add salt to the flour and start adding water (preferably luke warm) gradually, combining it into a ball. Knead the dough for a good 5-10 minutes. Take a small piece of the formed dough (about 1.5 inches in diameter) . Flatten it on a rolling board with a rolling pin. Roll the flour and form it into a 3-4 inch tortilla. Scoop 2 teaspoonsful of the Cheese Onion mixture into the tortilla. Gather the edges of the tortilla together to seal the mixture in and form a ball. Roll the ball into a thin tortilla. Heat a non stick pan. Put the tortilla in the pan and roast it on both sides until light brown spots develop on each side. If required, add a little bit of "Ghee" to both sides after initial roasting of the tortilla and roast for a further 30 seconds each side.
Repeat for the rest of the kneaded flour making Tortillas. Be careful serving the tortilla to children since the cheese inside may be very hot.

For Adults, you can leave out the carrots and stuff with cheese and onion. Alternately, you can stuff with boiled mashed potato. Be sure to add salt and if desired, finely chopped green chilies to the potato mixture.
