- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 1 Garlic large clove, minced
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder haldi

For Cooking
- 2 tbsp Oil vegetable or ghee
Instructions
Prepare the Filling
- Combine the crumbled paneer, mozzarella, green chilies, cumin seeds, minced garlic, turmeric powder, and salt in a bowl. Mix well to combine. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for optimal flavor and easier handling.
Make the Dough
- In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt.
- Gradually add water, mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rest, covered, for 10-15 minutes.
Assemble and Cook the Paratha
- Pinch off a small portion of the dough and roll it into a small ball.
- Lightly dust the ball with flour and roll it into a thin circle using a rolling pin.
- Place a spoonful of the paneer filling in the center of the circle.
- Bring the edges of the dough together to enclose the filling, pinching to seal.
- Gently flatten the filled dough ball with your palm, then roll it out again into a slightly thinner circle.
- Heat a flat griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
- Cook the paratha on the griddle, adding a few drops of oil around the edges, for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve hot with your favorite chutney or yogurt.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Paneer and Mozzarella Garlic Paratha
- For extra flavor, marinate the paneer in a little yogurt and spices before adding it to the filling.
- If your dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the parathas. Cook them in batches to ensure even browning.
- Experiment with different cheeses! Feta or ricotta would also be delicious in this recipe.
