Cheese (Paneer) is a great source of protein. Made of milk, it is also a complete food. Of all the interesting and shahi things that can be made with paneer, paneer parantha is one if my favourites and I can relish it anytime, anywhere. The crisp parantha served with curd and butter is an absolute delight.
1 minute for each Parantha
15 minutes
5 Parantha
Any Vegetable, Pickle, Chutney, Butter
• 1 cup wheatflour
• 200 gms cheese
• 1 Chopped onion
• ½ TBSP Red chilli powder
• ½ TBSP Coriander Powder
• ½ TBSP Dry mango Powder
• Salt as per taste
• Oil for making paranthas
Step 1: Take Wheat Flour in a big bowl. Kneed into a dough. It has to be a regular dough, like we do to make chapatis.
Step 2: Grate the paneer in a bowl. Add chopped onions and all the spices in the right proportion. Mix well.
Step 3: Take a small portion of the dough and make a flat, circular bread out of it. Note that it should be slightly thicker than a chapati but not too thick.
Step 4: Now take about 2 spoons of the paneer mix and place it at the centre of the bread. Close the bread by making pleats ensuring the paneer mix is well inside the bread. Now flatten the bread.
Step 3: Heat the tawa and add ½ spoon ghee. Place the bread on hot tawa. Let it cook.
Step 4: Once the parantha is cooked from one side, turn it upside down. Let the other side cook well.
Step 5: Now add some ghee on the tawa to make the parantha crispy and cook well until brown.
Step 6: Serve hot with any butter/pickle/vegetable/chutney
