Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250g) Whole wheat flour (Atta)
- ½ tsp (3g) Salt
- 1 tbsp (15ml) Vegetable oil
- ¾ cup (180ml) Lukewarm water
- 14 oz (400g) Paneer, crumbled or finely grated
- 1 small (30g) Green chili, finely minced
- 1 tbsp (6g) Fresh ginger, grated
- ¼ cup (15g) Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
- ½ tsp (3g) Cumin powder
- ½ tsp (3g) Garam masala
- ½ tsp (3g) Amchur
- ½ tsp (3g) Salt
- 4 tbsp (60ml) Ghee
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Add oil and gradually pour in lukewarm water.
- Knead for 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and soft. If it sticks to your hands, add a pinch of flour; if it's too stiff, add a teaspoon of water.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15–20 minutes to relax the gluten.
- In a mixing bowl, combine grated paneer, minced chilies, grated ginger, and chopped coriander.
- Stir in the cumin powder, garam masala, amchur, and salt, mixing gently with fingers to avoid mashing the paneer into a paste.
- Divide the dough and filling into 8 equal portions.
- Roll a dough ball into a 4-inch circle, place a generous scoop of filling in the center, pleat the edges toward the center, and pinch shut.
- Dust the ball with flour and roll gently into a 7-inch circle.
- Place the paratha on a medium-hot tawa for 30 seconds until tiny bubbles appear. Flip and apply ½ tbsp of ghee to the surface, then flip again and repeat until golden brown.
