Paneer paratha recipe
Paneer paratha is one of the simple to make Indian flatbread recipes. Can be made really quick and fills your tummy too.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 cups Paneer
- 3 Green chill
- 2 tablespoon Coriander leaves chopped
- ½ teaspoon Ajwain
- ½ teaspoon Garam masala powder
- Salt - As needed
For the dough
- 1 cup Atta/ wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Oil optional
- Water & salt - As needed
Instructions
- Mix flour, salt, oil (if needed) and water to make a soft pliable dough (not sticky). Let it set as you prepare the stuffing.
- Keep immersed in hot water until soft, drain completely from water. make sure there is no water retained.
- Crumble it with hand or like me in mixer.
- In a mixing bowl, mix crumbled paneer with garam masala, salt, ajwain, green chilli, coriander leaves.
- Make 6 equal balls. Knead the dough to make it smooth. Make equal sized balls out of the dough too.
- Roll the dough into medium circle and keep the paneer stuffing and pinch all the edges towards the centre.
- Flatten the dough with hands, and roll out to thick parathas.
- Heat tawa and drizzle some oil. Cook the parathas on both sides over medium flame.
- Press gently to ensure even cooking while its getting cooked.
Notes
- Make sure that there is no water in paneer when you use frozen paneer. I keep out the paneer 1 hour before I am going to prepare.
- You can follow any method to defrost paneer, only that there should not be any water. Otherwise, rolling might be difficult.
- Instead of green chillies, you can use red chilli powder in place of green chillies.
- Make sure the dough is soft and pliable.
- And also both the dough and the stuffing should be in right consistency. If any one is too tight or watery, the parathas may not come out in shape.
