Ingredients:

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• Water, as needed
• Salt, to taste

• 1 cup crumbled paneer (Indian cottage cheese)
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2-3 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
• 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
• Salt, to taste
• Ghee or oil, as needed

Instructions:

1: Preparation of Dough

• Prepare the dough by combining whole wheat flour and a little amount of salt in a mixing bowl. 
• Gradually include water and knead a smooth, soft dough. 
• For 15 to 20 minutes, cover it and let it rest.

2: Filling Preparation

• Prepare the filling by putting the crumbled paneer, finely chopped onions, green chillies, coriander leaves, cumin powder, garam masala, and salt in a separate bowl. 
• Combine everything thoroughly until the filling is evenly combined. 

• If necessary, taste and adjust the seasoning.

3: Assembling Parathas

• Divide the rested dough into equal amounts and roll them into smooth balls.
• Take one dough ball, gently press it down, and then coat it with dry flour. 
• Make a little circle out of it using a rolling pin that is about 4-5 inches in diameter.
• Put some paneer filling into the middle of the rolled-out dough. 
• Gather the dough’s outside borders to wrap around the filling and bring them together in the middle. 
• Carefully spread the stuffed dough into a wider circle (about 7-8 inches in diameter) after softly pressing it down. 
• Avoid tearing the dough by being gentle.

4: Cook The Parathas

• Heat a tawa (flat griddle) over medium heat to make parathas.
• Put the rolled paratha on hot tawa. 
• Cook for around a minute until you notice little bubbles appearing on the surface.
• Flip the paratha over, then brush some ghee or oil on the side that has been cooked.
• Using a spatula to press gently, cook the second side for another minute until golden brown spots appear.
• Turn it over one more and use ghee or oil on that side as well. 
• Cook until both sides are equally crispy and cooked using the spatula. 
• Remove the paratha from the tawa and set it on a plate.
• Repeating the process, use the remaining dough and filling to create more parathas.

5: Serving

• Serve the hot, freshly made Paneer Parathas with yogurt, pickles, or any other chutney. 
• You can also serve these mouthwatering Paneer Parathas with a side of raita (yogurt dip) or a simple salad.
