Paneer Paratha

Nowadays I do parathas almost daily. So I got used to doing parathas at home.(My chapathis never puff but my plain parathas do.) So I started making parathas since they are soft even after hours of making them.

As a variation, I tried Panner parathas one day. They came out really well and tasty even for the first time.:)

I made my paneer at home with 3-4 cups of milk which gives paneer for making 4 medium sized paneer parathaas.

Ingredients:

For the paratha:

Whole wheat flour - 1 cup

Luke warm water - 1/2 cup to knead the dough

Salt - as needed for the dough 

oil - 1 spoon

For the filling:

Paneer - 1 cup

Coriander leaves - as needed

salt - as needed

cumin seeds - 1 tsp

Green chillies - 2-3(cut to small pieces)

chaat masala - 1 tsp(optional)

Garam Masala - 1 tsp

Paneer Filling:

Preparation:

• Mix all the ingredients for the paratha and knead into a soft dough and set aside for 10 mins.
• Meanwhile mix the ingredients for the filling and divide into 4 equal parts.
• Divide the wheat dough into 4 equal parts and make a lime sized ball out of each.
• Now roll each ball into a small circle, keep one part of the filling inside and cover it as seen below. Press at the end so that the filling doesn't come out.

• Now roll this into a desired size circle.(apply wheat flour then and there if the balls are dry and make sure that the filling doesn't come out)
• Repeat this for the remaining wheat and paneer balls.
• Now take a pan, cook the parathas on both sides until brown.(apply ghee/oil as needed)

Paneer Parathas are ready and yummy...
