Paneer paratha is a great addition to your high-protein diet. Try this easy recipe to make paneer paratha at home.
Whole wheat flour - 2 cups Water - 2 cups Ghee - 1 tsp
Paneer - 200 gm Onion, finely chopped - 1/2 cup Coriander, finely chopped - 1 tbsp Green chillies, finely chopped - 2 Red chilli powder - 1 tsp Salt - 1/2 tsp Ghee or oil (for roasting)
Take whole wheat flour or atta in a bowl. Pour a small quantity of water and knead. Keep adding water as desired and knead smooth, soft dough. Let it rest for 20 minutes.
Prepare the stuffing by grating the paneer into small particles. Add finely chopped green chillies, coriander, onion, and spices. Mix everything well and keep aside.
Take a small portion of the dough and roll it out roughly. Place a spoonful of the paneer filling in the centre and seal it from all sides. Flatten and roll out again.
Use dry flour as required during the process. Make as many parathas as you need with this process.
Once you get a half-inch thick paratha, heat the tawa. Transfer the paratha onto the tawa and let it cook on one side. Meanwhile, apply ghee or oil on the other side.
Flip it and cook on the other side. Press gently with a spatula so that it roasts properly. Apply some more ghee on the top side before flipping again.
Once the paratha is cooked properly on both sides and turns brown, take it off the flame. Serve with dahi, chutney, or pickle of choice!
