About the Dish:
Stuffed Paneer Paratha is a wholesome and satisfying Indian flatbread filled with a flavourful spiced paneer mixture. Crispy on the outside and soft inside, it makes for a hearty breakfast or comforting meal any time of the day.
Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- Water as required
- A pinch of salt
- 1 tsp oil
For the Filling:
- 1½ cups grated Nova Dairy Paneer
- 1 small finely chopped onion
- 1 green chilli, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
- ½ tsp red chilli powder
- ½ tsp garam masala
- ½ tsp roasted cumin powder
- Salt to taste
For Cooking:
- 2–3 tbsp Nova Dairy Cow Ghee or Nova Dairy Butter
Method
Step 1:
In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, salt, and oil. Gradually add water and knead into a soft dough. Cover and let it rest for 10–15 minutes.
Step 2:
In another bowl, mix grated paneer, onion, green chilli, coriander, and spices. Ensure the filling is well combined and slightly crumbly.
Step 3:
Divide the dough into equal portions. Roll one portion into a small disc, place a generous spoonful of paneer filling in the center, and seal the edges carefully.
Step 4:
Roll gently into a flat paratha without pressing too hard. Cook on a hot tawa, applying Nova Cow Ghee or Nova Dairy Butter on both sides, until golden brown spots appear and the paratha turns crisp.
Step 5:
Cook all parathas similarly and serve hot, topped with a small dollop of Nova Dairy Butter and paired with fresh Nova Dairy Dahi for a perfectly balanced and satisfying meal.
Serving Suggestions
- Best enjoyed hot with pickle and fresh curd.
- Ideal for breakfast, lunchboxes, or weekend brunch.
- The dough and filling can be prepared in advance and refrigerated separately for up to 24 hours.
