I prepared this paratha last week for our lunch accompanied with Shahi paneer.Though I m not a paneer lover,I just love to cook paneer delicacies for my Kids.Paneer or cottage cheese is a rich source of protein.This is a popular dish of North India.Goes well with any gravy.
Ingredients:
Whole wheat flour(atta)-2 cups
Water-1
cup approx
Salt-1/2
tsp
Ghee-2-3
tbsp
Kasuri methi-2 tsp
Filling:
Paneer-100 g
Onion-1
chopped,finely
Green chilly-1,chopped
finely
Salt-3/4
tsp
Red chilly
powder-3/4 tsp
Garam masala
powder-3/4 tsp
Method:
- Make a
soft dough with atta,salt,kasuri methi and water,keep aside for half an hour.
- Mix all
the ingredients of the filling and keep aside.
- Divide the
dough into 6 equal parts,shape it into round
balls.
- Flatten each
ball,roll out each into 5” diameter.
- Spread a
tsp of ghee over the roti(optional),then spread the filling all over.
- Make a
slit,starting from the centre till any one of the end.
- Start rolling
from the slit to form an even cone.
- Keeping the
cone upright ,press slightly.
- Roll out,applying
the pressure only at the centre,do not roll or press too much on the edges,otherwise the layers of the paratha do not separate after cooking.
- Heat a
tawa,add ghee and roast the paratha on both the sides until brown in color.
- Serve it
with gravy of your choice,I served it with shahi paneer.
