Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Divide the dough into equal-sized portions and roll each portion into a small circle on a floured surface.

  4. Spoon a generous amount of the paneer mixture onto the center of each rolled-out dough circle.

  5. Bring the edges of the dough together to seal the filling inside, then gently flatten it using your hands.

  6. Roll out the filled dough into a paratha, ensuring the filling is evenly distributed throughout.

  7. 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.

  8. Add a little butter around the edges of the paratha and cook until both sides are crispy and golden brown.

  9. Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.

  10. Serve the Paneer Makhani Parathas hot with a dollop of butter, a side of yogurt, or your favorite chutney.
