Methi-Paneer Paratha

Methi- Paneer Paratha

There is no better food to come home to than fresh home made parathas. Parathas are a great way to incorporate many ingredients into one ( spices, veggies). Also if you have picky kids in the house like me, this is a great way to pack in calories.

Ingredients: Makes about 8 parathas

For the filling:

Paneer grated 1 cup ( Use can use mozzarella cheese instead)

Methi leaves 1 cup chopped

Ajwain seeds 1 tbsp

Garam masala 1 tsp

Salt to taste

Mix the above ingredients in a bowl and set aside.

For the dough:

Wheat flour ( atta ) 4 cups

Oil 2 tbsp

Salt to taste

Mix the atta, salt and oil to form soft dough using luke warm water. Set aside for 3-4 hours. Make small tennis ball size rolls of the dough. Using a polling pin, flatten the dough into 8” circle, ¼” thick., occasionally dusting the dough in the flour. Place the filling in the center of the circle. Cover the filling all around with the dough and flatten it. Again using the rolling pin, flatten the dough out into the same size as before. Cook both sides on medium low flame. Serve with a dollop of butter! Enjoy with pickle and raitha.
