Paneer Paratha

Paneer Paratha is a deliciously stuffed Indian flatbread filled with spiced paneer, perfect for a hearty breakfast. This dish is not only nutritious but also offers a burst of flavors that will awaken your taste buds.

Ingredients

• Whole Wheat Flour - 200 grams
• Paneer (cottage cheese) - 150 grams
• Onion (finely chopped) - 1 small
• Green Chili (finely chopped) - 1
• Cilantro (chopped) - 2 tablespoons
• Garam Masala - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin Powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Oil or Ghee - for cooking
• Water - as needed for dough

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and a pinch of salt. Gradually add water and knead to form a soft dough. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
2. In another bowl, crumble the paneer and mix it with chopped onion, green chili, cilantro, garam masala, cumin powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to combine.
3. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each portion into a small ball.
4. Take one ball, flatten it slightly, and roll it out into a small circle. Place a portion of the paneer filling in the center and fold the edges over to seal it, forming a stuffed ball.
5. Gently flatten the stuffed ball and roll it out into a larger circle, being careful not to let the filling spill out.
6. Heat a tawa or skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled paratha on the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Flip and apply a little oil or ghee on the cooked side, cooking the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
7. Repeat the process for the remaining dough and filling. Serve hot with yogurt or pickle.
