PANEER PARATHA
Ingredients:
For the dough
2 cups atta 260 grams, durum wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons oil 10 ml,
water to knead the dough, around 3/4 cup
For the filling
200 grams crumbled paneer almost 2 cups crumbled paneer
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 green chili chopped, or adjust to taste
1/4 teaspoon garam masala
1/8 teaspoon ajwain carom seeds
1/4 + 1/8 teaspoon salt or to taste
Method
1- To a large bowl, add atta (whole wheat flour), salt and oil
2- Start adding water, little by little to knead the dough.
3- Knead to a soft and smooth dough. I used the dough attachment of my stand mixer. You can do this by
hand.
4- Transfer the dough to a container and apply some oil on top. Cover with a cloth and let it rest for 20 to
30 minutes.
To make the filling, crumble paneer in a bowl or plate. Then add the cilantro, green chili, garam masala,
ajwain and salt.
6- Mix everything together. The filling is now ready. Set it aside.
7- Once the dough has rested, divide it into 8 equal sized balls. Roll each ball between your hands to
make it smooth. Keep the balls covered else dough will dry out.
Meanwhile put a tawa/skillet to heat on medium-high heat.
8- Now, take one of the dough ball and press it down with your hands. Using a rolling pin, roll it into a
circle of 4 to 5 inch diameter. Apply around 1/4 teaspoon oil on the rolled dough.
9- Add the filling, around 1-2 tablespoons but remember to not over-fill.
10- Bring the edges of the rolled paratha together and pinch to seal the edges.
11 & 12- Then press the dough down with your hands and make it little smooth.
Then roll the dough again using a rolling pin, into a circle of 7 to 8 inch diameter. Apply equal pressure
while rolling the paratha so that’s it rolls evenly.
14- Now, place the rolled paratha onto the heated tawa. Cook the side for a minute or two and then flip
over.
15- Apply oil, round 1/4 teaspoon on the half-cooked side and then flip again.
16- Now apply oil on the other side as well. Press with a spatula and cook the paratha until both sides
have golden brown spots on them. Repeat with the remaining dough balls and make all parathas similarly.
