Paneer Paratha(पनीर पराठा)

I love eating anything has paneer in it. Until few months back , I always used to think that to make paneer parathas is a complex job. But after trying by myself I realized it is anything but easy job. 

Ingredients:-

For dough:-

(1). 2 cup whole wheat flour

(2). half cup all purpose flour

(3). salt to taste

(4). pinch of asafoetida

(5). half teaspoon turmeric powder

(6). 1 table spoon oil

(7). half cup water to knead dough

For Fillings:-

(1). 2 cup shredded paneer

(2). 1 cup chopped onions

(3). half cup chopped coriander leaves

(4). salt to taste

(5). 2 teaspoon coriander powder

(6). 1 finely chopped green chili

(7). half teaspoon garam masala

For parathas-

(1). oil or ghee for cooking

(2). wheat flour in bowl 

Recipe:-

Using dough ingredients knead dough for parathas which is soft and smooth. Don't use too much water. The dough should not be sticky.In one bowl take all the ingredients for fillings and mix them well and keep aside.

Dough for Parathas

Divide the dough into 8 equal parts and make balls. Take one dough balls put in wheat flour , make sure ball is coated with flour. Now roll the ball on rolling board. If you think ball is sticking add little oil or more flour on rolling board and keep rolling until it becomes big enough to add paneer filling.

Now add 1.5 table spoon of paneer filling in middle of rolled paratha.

Gather the edges of paratha as shown in figure and seal it on the top.

Once more roll filled paratha with some flour on rolling board. Roll gently from all side. Roll until paratha is half inch thick. I like little thick parathas , that way they don't break the fillings.

Greased non stick or cast iron pan with cooking oil . Start stove and put paratha in it . Wait for one side of paratha to become cook, it will show small brown spots. Turn to other side , once both side has brown marks on it add half table spoon oil and coat both side of paratha nicely. Let it cook for another 1-2 minutes. And take it out from pan.

Serve hot with fresh yogurt or raita . You can also serve with some butter and fresh green chilies. This parathas can be served with mango or vegetable pickle.
