Ingredients

  • 250 g whole wheat flour / atta
  • water
  • salt
  • paneer For filling/Stuffing
  • paneer / cottage cheese 200 grams { Home made recipe here }
  • chilies 1 or 2 green finely chopped
  • coriander leaves 2 tablespoon chopped
  • 2 Tbsps Mint leaves Pudina / chopped
  • salt to taste
  • red chilli ½ teaspoon powder
  • 2 Tbsps ghee

Instructions

  • Take whole wheat flour in a mixing bowl add some salt just to taste and make a soft and pliable dough. kneed the dough for 2-3 minutes as that helps to release the glutton and hence ease of rolling out paratha and soft dough. Keep it for atlas 10-20 minutes before rolling it for paratha.
  • As dough is kept for resting you can make filling/stuffing for paneer paratha.
  • Grate the paneer in a mixing bowl and add salt, red chilli powder, chopped green chilli, coriander leaves, mint leaves and mix it well. Some people add many spices like garam masala powder etc but I like to keep the paneer paratha simple and less complicated so this works fine.
  • Mix everything well.
  • Divide the dough in 4-5 parts, roll it in palm of your hands to make round balls.
  • Now dust these balls with dry flour and roll then with a rolling pin to make make circle of 5-6 inch.
  • Place the paneer filling in the centre of the circle and lift the edges one by one and bring back to the centre so as to make a roundish ball once again.
  • Now dust this stuffed ball again with some flour and with gentle movement roll it out once again to about 6-7 inch diameter circle.
  • Heat up a griddle or tava and smear it with small quantity of ghee and place this paratha over the tava .
  • When it is cooked from one side, apply melted ghee on the other side and flip it with a spatula once again. Cook the second side till brown spots start to appear. Check another side once again and if it is cooked just take it out of the lava onto a plate, otherwise cook it some more.
  • Serve it hot with plain yogurt / boondi raita and may be a pat of butter if you are feeling indulgent.
