Parathas are usually made with stuffed vegetables such as potatoes, radish, cauliflower, or leafy vegetables or paneer. They are very popular in Indian cuisine. Parathas are very easy to make and can be served just with raita/curd. If you have sudden guests at home and didn't have much time to cook I will say try making parathas. They are very healthy, tasty and quick to make.


Today I am blogging about Paneer paratha which I made over the weekend.

Here is the recipe for the same.

Rotis:

1 cup of wheat flour.
1tbsp oil

Grate Paneer. Mix grated paneer, chopped coriander, green chilies, chat masala and salt. Make small balls of the mixture.

Take the dough and divide into small balls. Roll the dough into small round shaped dusting with flour to avoid sticking onto the platform.

Place paneer mixture bring the ends to the center from 4 to 5 points. Close the ends properly so that the mixture will not come out.
