Paratha Pockets
Flaky paratha pockets stuffed with a spiced veggie omelette, bologna slices, and melty cheese. They cook up perfectly golden and crisp in the air fryer, making them ideal for a quick breakfast or snack.
Ingredients
- 2 frozen parathas slightly thawed
- 6-8 bologna slices or sucuk
- 2 tablespoon shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoon shredded mozzarella cheese
- Oil spray as needed
Omelette Filling
- 2 eggs
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon red chili powder
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1 tablespoon bell pepper diced
- 1 tablespoon red onion diced
- 1 tablespoon tomato diced
- 1 teaspoon green chilies diced
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, crushed red pepper, bell pepper, onion, tomato, and green chilies.
- Heat a lightly greased pan over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, gently scrambling, until fully cooked. Remove from heat.
- Place slightly thawed parathas on a flat surface. Add half of the scrambled omelette to one side of each paratha. Top with 3–4 slices of bologna or sucuk. Sprinkle cheddar and mozzarella over the top.
- Fold the paratha into a half-moon shape, slightly overlapping the bottom edge if desired. Press firmly with a fork to seal.
- Preheat air fryer to 350°F (180°C). Place the paratha pockets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Lightly spray both sides with oil. Air fry for 5 minutes, flip, then air fry another 5 minutes. Increase temperature to 400°F (200°C) and cook 2–3 more minutes until golden and crisp.

Notes
- If the paratha sticks while assembling, assemble everything on parchment and transfer the parchment directly into the air fryer.
- For Oven: Bake at 200°C (400°F) for 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden.
- Make Ahead: Air fry for 10 minutes at 350°F (180°C), cool completely, and refrigerate. When ready to eat, reheat at 375°F (190°C) for 5-6 minutes until crisp.
