STUFFED PANEER PARATHAS

 

Stuffed parathas is one of the most popular breakfast dish that can be made with various different fillings. Today's recipe is with paneer and I have added one potato for binding and flavoured it with fresh methi. The combination of methi, aloo and paneer is really so delectable and loved by many. You can enjoy these parathas for breakfast / brunch / lunch / dinner with some pickle and yogurt. Fresh hot parathas straight from the pan with little butter on them are such a delight and irresistible. 



Ingredients:
(For the filling)
Paneer - 150 gms ( grated)
Potato - 1 medium (boiled and mashed)
Methi or fenugreek leaves - 1 small bunch sauteed with little garlic. 
Garam masala powder - 1 tsp
Salt - to taste

(For the dough)
Wheat flour - 2 cups
Salt - to taste
Oil - 2 tbsps
Ajwain - 1/4 tsp (optional - I add only in winter )
Water - for kneading

Ghee / clarified butter - for making parathas.

Method:
1. In a mixing bowl add the flour, salt, oil and mix them well.
2. Now knead the dough adding water little by little. Cover and rest it for 10 to 15 minutes.
3. Meanwhile make the stuffing ready. 
4. Mix all the ingredients for list 1 (for stuffing) 
5. Knead the rested dough again adding a tsp of oil to get a nice and smooth texture.
6. Roll out a small portion of the dough, put some stuffing mixture in the middle. 
7. Gather the edges sealing them like a pouch or bundle.
8. Flatten it and roll out carefully.
9. Heat a griddle, grease it and make the parathas flipping them few times until done. Brush them with little ghee after flipping.
10. Serve hot with yogurt and pickle.

  2. My all time favourite paratha besides the aloo ones. I usually add some grated cabbage or cauliflower. Like how you have added methi to the filling.

  8. Who can say no to such a delicious stuffed paratha. Potato paneer and methi stuffing sounds lipsmackingly delicious and healthy too. I make aloo paneer paratha but never used methi. Can't wait to try your version of stuffed paratha.
