My son likes paratha in any form – be it aloo paratha, methi paratha or gobi paratha. Yesterday, I tried making Paneer paratha for the first time and my son became a fan of it. It is very simple and easy to make.
Ingredients: |
|
Grated Paneer | – 200 g. |
Green chillies | – 3 (Chopped finely) |
Ajwain or Omam | – ½ tsp. |
Garam masala | – ½ tsp. |
Coriander leaves | – a handful (chopped finely) |
Salt | – as needed or 1 tsp. |
Oil | – for making parathas |
For Making the Dough: |
|
Wheat flour | – 1 cup |
Water | – as needed |
Salt | – as needed |
Oil | – 2 tsps. |
Method:
- Mix flour, salt and water to make a soft pliable dough. Add oil at the end and mix well. Keep it for half an hour.
- Crumble paneer with our hands finely.
- In a vessel, mix crumbled paneer with garam masala, salt, ajwain, chopped green chillies and chopped coriander leaves.
- Knead the dough to make it smooth. Make equal sized balls out of the dough.
- Roll the dough into medium circle and keep the paneer stuffing inside and close all the edges towards the middle.
- You can flatten the dough with hands, and roll out to thick parathas by dusting flour in between.
- Heat a pan, and cook the parathas on both sides over medium flame. Press gently to ensure even cooking while its getting cooked. Add 1 tsp. of oil on both the sides when cooking.
- If you make and give this I am sure that your children would love it.
