Ingredients
For the Dough
- 1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour Atta
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1/4 cup Water Approximately, to knead a soft dough
For the Paneer Filling
- 1/4 cup Paneer Grated or crumbled
- 1 tbsp Coriander Leaves Finely chopped
- 1 Green Chilli Small piece, finely chopped, optional - see Spice Note
- 1 pinch Cumin Powder Optional
- 1 pinch Salt Or as required
For Cooking
- 1 teaspoon Ghee Or oil, for roasting
Instructions
Preparing the Filling
- Mix the grated paneer with coriander leaves, green chilli, cumin powder and salt in a bowl. Divide into 2 equal portions.
Preparing the Dough
- Combine whole wheat flour and salt in a bowl. Add water gradually and knead into a soft, smooth dough. Cover and rest for 10 minutes. Divide into 2 portions, slightly larger than the filling portions.
Making the Parathas
- Roll a portion of dough into a small circle, place a portion of filling in the centre, and gather the edges to seal. Flatten gently and roll out again into a small paratha, dusting with flour as needed to prevent sticking.
- Heat a tawa on medium heat. Cook the paratha, flipping and spreading a little ghee on both sides, until golden brown spots appear. Repeat for the second paratha.
Packing
- Let the parathas cool slightly. Pack with curd in a separate small container and apple slices on the side.
Recipe Notes
Tiffin Pairing
Curd and apple slices balance the richness of the paneer filling and round out the meal.Make-Ahead Tip
Crumble and mix the paneer filling the night before and keep it refrigerated in a covered container. In the morning you only need to make the dough and roll out the parathas.Quick Swap
Use grated mild cheese instead of paneer if that's easier to keep on hand. The green chilli can be left out entirely for a very mild version.Allergen Note
Contains dairy (paneer, ghee, curd) and wheat/gluten (whole wheat flour).Spice Note
Green chilli is optional here - the paneer filling is naturally mild even without it.Packing Tip
A few drops of lemon juice on the apple slices helps keep them from browning before lunchtime.Related Posts You May Like
