Take 2 cups of whole wheat flour in a mixing bowl, add half a cup of maida and add salt to taste in it.
Pour a tablespoon of oil and mix the oil until it achieves breadcrumbs like consistency.
Add water to make a soft and pliable dough. Knead the dough with the palm of your hand for 2-3 minutes as that not only helps to release the glutton but makes a soft dough as well.
Keep kneading the dough for 6-7 minutes before rolling it for paratha.
The dough’s texture needs to be really elastic otherwise the parathas won’t be soft.

As the dough is kept for resting you can make filling/stuffing for paneer paratha.
Take a bowl and add grated paneer and ¼ chopped onions in it.
After that add chopped green chilies, half a teaspoon black pepper powder, ajwain and chopped ginger simultaneously.
After the spices, add freshly chopped coriander and mint in it. Add salt to taste and mix all the ingredients well.
Keep the ingredients aside and prepare for the paratha.
Now, divide the dough into 4-5 parts, roll it in the palm of your hands to make round balls.
Now dust these balls with dry flour and roll them with a rolling pin to make a circle of 5-6 inch.
When you have made the circle add the paneer stuffing inside it. Lift the edges one by one and bring back to the center 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 a small quantity of ghee
Gently place the paratha over the tava and cook from the side. Cook the paratha until its cooked from all the side.
Serve the paratha hot alongside homemade butter and some tangy mint chutney.
