Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour (atta)
• 1 cup Paneer
• 0.75 cup Water
• 1 teaspoon Salt-free seasoning mix
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Garam masala
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Oil
• 3 tablespoons Ghee or oil for cooking

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and water gradually to form a soft and pliable dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Step 2

While the dough rests, crumble the paneer into a separate bowl. Add salt-free seasoning mix, cumin seeds, red chili powder, coriander powder, garam masala, and chopped cilantro. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 3

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape them into balls. Flatten each ball slightly with your hands.

Step 4

Take one dough ball and roll it into a small disc (about 3 inches in diameter) using a rolling pin. Place a spoonful of the paneer filling in the center of the disc.

Step 5

Bring the edges of the dough together to cover the filling and pinch to seal. Carefully flatten the dough ball again and roll gently into a flat round paratha (about 6-7 inches in diameter). Sprinkle a little dry flour if necessary to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick tawa or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of ghee or oil to the pan.

Step 7

Place the rolled paratha onto the hot tawa. Cook until brown spots appear on one side, then flip. Apply a little more ghee or oil and cook the other side until golden brown.

Step 8

Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls and filling.

Step 9

Serve the parathas hot with low sodium raita or a side salad for a complete meal.
