Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour with a pinch of salt and water to make a soft dough. Cover the dough and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes.
-
In a separate bowl, mix the crumbled paneer, chopped onion, tomato, green chilies, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, fresh coriander leaves, and salt. Mix well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
-
Divide the dough into equal-sized portions and roll each portion into a small circle on a floured surface.
-
Spoon a generous amount of the paneer mixture onto the center of each rolled-out dough circle.
-
Bring the edges of the dough together to seal the filling inside, then gently flatten it using your hands.
-
Roll out the filled dough into a paratha, ensuring the filling is evenly distributed throughout.
-
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and place the paratha on it. Cook until golden brown spots appear on one side, then flip and cook the other side.
-
Add a little butter around the edges of the paratha and cook until both sides are crispy and golden brown.
-
Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.
-
Serve the Paneer Makhani Parathas hot with a dollop of butter, a side of yogurt, or your favorite chutney.
