Paneer (Indian cheese) paratha

Who dosent relish a paratha especially when it is made with a silky paneer filling. 

For filling

Paneer (indian cheese) : 1 cup (appx 125gms)
Onions : 1 small (finely chopped)
Green chillies: 2 nos (finely chopped)
Coriander : few (finely chopped)
Cumin powder : 1/4 tsp
Salt : to taste

For dough

Wheat flour : 3 cups (390gms)
Water : 1/2 cup (more if needed)
Oil : 2 teaspoon
Salt : pinch

Wheat flour : for rolling
Oil : to fry

Procedure

• Dough : Mix flour, salt make a soft dough adding water slowly, add oil and mix. Set the dough aside and cover it with a cloth. Let the dough rest at least ten minutes.

• Filling : Mix all the ingredients and knead lightly to make balls

• Making parathas (STEPS BELOW)

1. Dough (make balls).
2. Paneer filling (can make into balls). Paneer balls should be a bit larger than the dough balls.
3. Roll dough ball into a 3” circle.  Place a filling ball in the center. 
4. Pull the edges of the dough to wrap it around the paneer filling.
5. Take off little excess dough on top. Repeat the same for all balls. 
6. Press the filled ball lightly on dry whole wheat flour from both sides. 
7. Using a rolling pin, roll the balls lightly to make six-inch circles, keeping the sealed side of the balls on top. If the dough sticks to the rolling pin or rolling surface, lightly dust the parathas with dry flour.

Heat skillet or flat pan on medium high heat until moderately hot. To test, sprinkle water on the skillet. If the water sizzles right away, the skillet is ready. Place the paratha on the skillet. When the paratha start to change color and begins to puff up, flip it over (some golden-brown spots appear).  After a few seconds, drizzle 1/2 teaspoon of oil over the paratha. Flip the paratha again and lightly press the puffed areas with a spatula. Flip again and press with a spatula making sure the paratha is golden-brown on both sides. Repeat for the remaining parathas.

Serve hot right away with yoghurt (curd) or Green chutney. Cool them on a wire rack if you are serving later to keep them from getting soggy.
