Paneer Paratha

---

Being a North Indian I am no different. I do have a range of parathas in my house, this is one paratha which I loved a lot. It is so tasty and so yummy. You can make this, cut into little triangles and give it to your kids, they will love it for sure.This is a great recipe to put in your kids lunch box. Since it is stuffed it will stay soft for a long time and I am sure your kids will love it for sure.

Making Paratha is equally easy. A little attention to details and you will be getting the softer and the yummiest parathas ever. The main part of any paratha is the dough. The dough needs to be a bit soft. The stuffing needs to be spread all around and one needs to roll it uniformly all around. If you follow these tricks, and a few tips mentioned below, each and every paratha of your will puff up and they would be soft and have the melt-in-the-mouth texture.

For stuffing, along with grated paneer for freshness  mint, green chilies, fresh coriander, and ginger, add amchur powder for a nice tangy flavor and spices like some red chili powder, turmeric, ajwain, garam masala, roasted jeera powder not to forget to season the stuffing with  salt, mix everything nicely 

Make sure that there is no water in the paneer when you use it to prepare the stuffing. Ensure the dough is soft and pliable. And also both the dough and the stuffing should be in the right consistency.  If anyone is too tight or watery, the parathas may not come out in shape.

Serve hot with dahi (plain yogurt/ curd) and pickle
