HOW TO MAKE OR PREPARE PANEER PARATHA RECIPE

Take a mixing bowl and add wheat flour.  Add oil and salt and mix well.

Add water little by little and knead into a soft and smooth dough.  Knead the dough well and keep it covered.  Let the dough rest for 25-30 minutes.

For the stuffing, take an another bowl and add the grated paneer.  To this, add chopped green chillies, red chilli powder, amchoor powder, salt and chopped coriander leaves.

Mix everything well.  Stuffing for the parathas are now ready.  Divide the dough into 4 equal balls and make 4 equal sized paneer stuffing.

Roll each ball of dough into a thin round shape.  Put the stuffing in the centre of each paratha and lightly fold on all the sides.  Remove the excess dough from the top.

Dust with wheat flour and press lightly by hand.  Roll it gently with the stuffing to a round shape.

Heat tawa on a medium flame.  Add oil, ghee or butter and put the rolled paratha on the tawa.   Cook for few minutes.

Once the bubbles start appearing, apply oil on the top of the paratha.  Flip on the other side and spread oil on the other side too.  Cook on both the sides till they become little crisp and golden brown in colour.  Repeat the process with the remaining dough.

Serve paneer parathas hot with curd, raita, pickle or any curry/dal.

NOTES/TIPS

You can also grate the green chillies instead of chopping them finely.

Add garam masala to the stuffing for an enhanced and better taste.

You can substitute amchoor powder with 2-3 teaspoons of lemon juice.

Parathas are best enjoyed when served hot.
