• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 green chilli, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon coriander leaves, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
• Salt to taste

Rolling and Cooking:

• Ghee or oil for cooking

Instructions:

1: Prepare the Paratha Dough

1. In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, a pinch of salt, and water gradually to form a soft, pliable dough.
2. Knead the dough well and set it aside, covered, for 15-20 minutes.

2: Mix the Paneer Filling

1. In a separate bowl, mix crumbled paneer, finely chopped onion, green chili, coriander leaves, cumin powder, garam masala, and salt. Ensure the mixture is well-combined.

3: Roll Out the Parathas

1. Take a portion of the dough and roll it into a small ball.
2. Flatten the ball and roll it into a small disc.
3. Place a generous spoonful of the paneer filling in the center.
4. Seal the edges and roll it back into a ball.
5. Roll out the stuffed dough ball into a flat, round paratha.

4: Cook the Parathas

1. Heat a griddle or tawa over medium heat.
2. Place the rolled-out paratha on the hot surface and cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles appear.
3. Flip the paratha, apply ghee or oil, and cook the other side until golden brown.
4. Repeat for the remaining dough and filling.

5: Serve and Enjoy

1. Serve the Paneer Parathas hot with yogurt, pickles, or a dollop of butter.
2. Garnish with additional coriander leaves for a burst of freshness.

Pro Tips:

• Ensure the paneer filling is well-drained to prevent a soggy paratha.
• Use whole wheat flour for a healthier twist, but you can mix in some all-purpose flour for a softer texture.
• Experiment with the level of spice in the filling to suit your taste preferences.
