WHAT IS DOMINO’S ZINGY PARCEL?

 

Shaped like a parcel and taste full of zest & vigour, Dominos zingy parcel is a snack having a soft but crusty bread outside & soft gooey paneer/cheese stuffing engulfed with hot n spicy harissa mayonnaise inside.

This recipe is invented, prepared & sold by “Dominos”, a largest pizza restaurant chain in the world.

Hence it is called Domino’s Zingy Parcel or Paneer zingy parcel or veg zingy parcel.

 

WHAT IS HARISSA SAUCE?

 

Hailing from North Africa & Middle East, Harissa sauce is a vibrant red sauce that is made using dry red chillies, oil, coriander, garlic, an acid (vinegar & lemon juice), and spices.

This is extremely Spicy sauce which adds heat and smokiness to wherever added.

HOW TASTY IS THE ZINGY PARCEL?

 

By far, this is one of the best bread recipes we have ever tasted.

The moment we took the first bite inside the mouth, OMG, it blown away our mind with its super delicious taste.

Even after passing of many days, the taste of zingy parcel is still surviving on our tongue and mind.

Although this recipe needs some time and work to prepare, but we are never short of time and efforts to make it time and again.

Do more needs to be said about zingy parcels?

ABOUT THE PRESENT RECIPE

 

A long list of ingredients may give you a shockers and for a minute, you will surely think of dropping the idea of making it.

But honestly speaking, this is not a complicated recipe at all.

KIDS FRIENDLY RECIPE

 

You serve these parcels to any adult in your family or friends and there will be all appreciations for you.

But yes, it’s spicy for the kids.

You can see that harissa sauce is all made with dry red chillies, so that hotness is obvious.

To make this recipe kids friendly, you can replace the harissa sauce with some vegetables stuffing clubbed with tomato ketchup or pizza sauce or any other way you like.

However you made add some non veg stuffing too, depending upon your liking.

But honestly speaking, nothing can beat the taste of harissa sauce and this is highly recommended to make zingy parcels with harissa sauce and only harissa sauce.

HOW TO CONVERT ZINGY PARCEL RECIPE INTO VEGAN ONE?

 

This recipe uses few dairy products and you just need to make their replacement.

In the dough, the dairy product is milk powder. You can easily skip adding it.

Furthermore, in the filling, Mayonnaise can be replaced with some vegan mayo and cottage cheese/paneer with Tofu.

Next, milk and butter is used in giving a wash to parcels at the pre and post baked stages, respectively.

Milk can be replaced with some plant based milk or vegan butter and dairy butter with vegan butter.

EXPERT TIPS

 

  1. Original recipe is made using all purpose flour, which gives more better results in terms of texture.
  2. Also the dough proofed with yeast gives better texture to the parcels instead of dough prepared using curd/yoghurt.
  3. Don’t make recipe if yeast fails to activate. All your efforts will go waste.
  4. Dough must be kneaded for good 10 minutes.
  5. Never skip the harissa sauce in stuffing. This sauce will take the taste of zingy parcels to another level.
  6. Don’t overload the stuffing. It will ooze out while baking.
