My Soft Paneer Paratha

Ingredients

• 🧀200 g paneer
• 🌾2 cup whole wheat flour
• 💧¾ cup water
• 🧅1 onion, finely chopped
• 🌶️1 green chili, finely chopped
• 🧄½ tsp ginger-garlic paste
• 🌶️½ tsp red chili powder
• 🌿½ tsp garam masala
• 🌿½ tsp cumin powder
• 🌿2 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped
• 🧈2 tbsp ghee or oil
• 🧂1 tsp salt

Method

1. 1In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add water and knead into a soft, pliable dough. Cover and set aside for 15 minutes.
2. 2Crumble the paneer into a separate bowl. Add chopped onion, green chili, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, garam masala, cumin powder, chopped coriander, and salt. Mix well to form the filling.
3. 3Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a small disc (about 3 inches in diameter).
4. 4Place a spoonful of paneer filling in the center of one disc. Bring the edges together to seal, forming a ball. Flatten gently.
5. 5Lightly dust with flour and roll out carefully into a paratha of about 6-7 inches in diameter.
6. 6Heat a tawa or flat griddle over medium-high heat. Place the rolled paratha on the hot tawa.
7. 7Cook for about 1 minute until small bubbles appear. Flip and apply ghee or oil on the cooked side. Cook for another minute.
8. 8Flip again and apply ghee or oil on the second side. Press gently with a spatula and cook until golden brown spots appear on both sides.
9. 9Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. Serve hot.
