Zingy parcel is the most wanted side dishes especially by the kids from the time it made its entry in the menu of Dominoes. It is zingy, tasty, spicy puffed pastry which is filled with delicious paneer filling and seasons with lots of pizza seasonings. It’s basically the Indian version of the Italian pizza just its shape is like a pocket with yum fillings. 

I have already made Harissa Paste  and it has mayonnaise to give it the creamy texture.

Makes 8 Parcels
Ingredients

For the Bread Dough
120Ml+ Warm Water
2 Teaspoons Sugar
1 Teaspoon Instant Yeast
200 Grams All Purpose Flour
1½ Tablespoon Milk Powder
½ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 Teaspoon Salt
2 Teaspoons Olive Oil

For The Creamy Harissa Sauce
3 Tablespoons Harissa Paste
1/3 Cup Mayonnaise
For The Masala Paneer
100g Paneer - cut into  tiny cubes
¼ Teaspoon Turmeric Powder,
¼ Teaspoon Red Chilly Powder
¼ Teaspoon Garam Masala,
¼ Teaspoon Salt
¼ Teaspoon Kasuri Methi,
¼ Teaspoon Ginger Garlic Paste
½ Teaspoon Garlic Butter - for brushing
50 Grams Mozzarella Cheese
Cornmeal flour for dusting the work surface
Pizza Seasoning & Chilly Flakes - optional
Method

Take a medium bowl. Pour little lukewarm water, add salt, sugar, yeast. Mix well and keep it aside for 5 minutes. Now, add flour, garlic powder and knead the dough nicely. Adding little water at a time to make a soft dough. Take this on to a work surface and knead it well till forms a smooth and soft dough
Place it oil in a greased bowl and keep it covered with a cling wrap till it doubles in volume.
Let's Prepare The Stuffing

In a bowl add the paneer and all the spices, oil and give it a mix. Marinate it for an hour. 

After an hour take a non stick pan place in it on high flame and cook for 2 -3 minutes.

For The Creamy Harissa Sauce

Combine the harissa paste with the mayonnaise and mix well.

Creamy Harissa Sauce is ready. 

To Make The Zingy Parcel

Once the dough has risen. Take it on to a dusted work surface  and flatten it with your hand, Now roll it into a circle, about ¼ thick. 

Cut it into 8 equal triangles. 

Take one triangle and stretch the two ends a little. Then place just a level teaspoon of creamy harissa sauce ( not more than that or else while baking the sauce will leak out) and spread it a little

place cubes of paneer, a teaspoon of mozzarella cheese. Brush all the ends of the triangle with water.

First pinch both the end of the triangle and

the third end to make a parcel. Like wise make all and place them on a greased baking tray.

Brush them with melted garlic butter. Don’t brush on the sides. Cover it with a damp cloth and let them rise for 15 - 20 minutes.

Bake them in a preheated oven at 200°C for 12 minutes then change the sides of the tray and bake it again for 5 - 7 minutes till they are golden on top. As soon as they are out of the oven brush them with melted garlic butter and sprinkle pizza seasonings and chili flakes.       

                            

 Take them out on to the wire rack to cool. 

Enjoy these super soft Zingy Parcels...yum yum.
