Paneer Paratha

Usually recipes, tricks n tips,trends are passed on from Mothers to Daughters or from older to younger generation. But  this time it was other way round, my daughter suggested me this recipe which was her innovation. As she has to do her grocery and  cook for herself too while doing her job, she often goes for a short-cut ( like paratha- a 2 in 1 recipe)to save her time and have ghar ka khana.. I remember she couldn't even do chapati/roti when she was in college but now she manages to do puranpoli !!! She's come a long way. I am proud of you my child!!!


Ingredients
100 gms paneer
1 tbl sp kasoori methi
2 green chilies finely chopped
2 tsp green chutney( coriander leaves, mint leaves, ginger)
salt to taste
1 tbl sp honey

Knead a dough with 1 cup wheat flour, a pinch of salt, 1 tsp oil (optional)

Method
  • Defrost the frozen paneer halfway so it can be easily grated with a grater.
  • Mix all the other ingredients and make lemon sized flat balls out of it.
  • Knead the dough and make balls out of it each ball should be of half the size  of the paneer ball.
  • Take two small balls  and roll two small puris out of it. Place a flattened paneer ball over one puri and keep another puri over it. Seal the border by pressing firmly or by folding the edges.
  • Roll a paratha of medium thickness by using rice flour (for dredging) if required.
  • Roast from both sides on a non-stick pan or griddle using few drops of clarified butter or ghee.
  • Eat with curd or white butter.
