Cottage cheese or paneer is one of the best sources of protein for vegetarians. And when paired with fibre-rich whole wheat atta it becomes even more nutritious.
For dough: 2 cups Whole Wheat flour (atta 2/3 cups Water 1 tsp Ghee For stuffing: 200 gram Paneer 2 tbsp Onion, finely chopped 2 tbsp Coriander, finely chopped 1 Green Chillies, finely chopped 1 tsp Red Chilli Powder 1/2 tsp Salt Ghee or oil shallow frying
Take atta in a bowl and pour a small quantity of water and knead smooth, soft dough. Let it rest for 20 minutes.
Now for stuffing, grate paneer into small particles and add green chillies, coriander, onion, and spices. Mix 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. 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 well. 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 and serve hot with dahi, chutney or pickle.
