Paneer Paratha is a popular North Indian flatbread stuffed with a spiced paneer filling. It is typically enjoyed with yoghurt, pickles, or a side of raita and is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Ingredients

2 cups whole wheat flour 1 cup paneer 1 green chilli 1 tsp grated ginger 1/2 tsp cumin powder 1/2 tsp garam masala 1/2 tsp red chili powder 1/4 tsp turmeric powder 2 tbsp fresh coriander leaves Ghee

Step 1

In a bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add water and knead to form a smooth, soft dough. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.

Step 2

In another bowl, mix grated paneer, chopped green chilli, grated ginger, cumin powder, garam masala, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, salt, and chopped coriander leaves.

Step 3

Divide the dough into equal-sized balls. Roll out one ball into a small circle. Place a generous amount of the paneer filling in the center of the circle.

Step 4

Gather the edges of the dough and bring them together to seal the filling inside. Gently press down and roll out the filled dough ball into a flat, round paratha. 

Step 5

Heat a tawa and cook the paratha until the bottom side begins to brown, then flip it over.. 

Step 6

Spread a little ghee on the cooked side, and then flip again to apply ghee on the other side. Cook until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
