Paneer Paratha

This paneer paratha is made in a style that is easier and less time consuming. What is more, it is tastier and healthier than the usual stuff paneer paratha.


Ingredients:
Cottage cheese 200 Gm
Wheat flour
Half onion finely chopped
Green chilli according to taste
Chopped green coriander
Ajwain seeds 1 tbsp
Lemon juice half tbs
Oil for frying

Method:

Crumble the cottage cheese in a big bowl. Add two cups of wheat flour, chopped onions, chillies, ajwain, coriander, salt and lemon juice and mix well. Knead a dough with this. You can add a little water if you need. Usually the cottage cheese is moist enough to knead the dough without needing extra water.

Keep it aside or in the fridge for one hour. This will help release the flavor.

Now take a ball sized portion, dust it with some dry flour and roll it round like a chapati. It won't be rolled a neat round and will also be extremely crumbly. Roll out a thick round paratha. Dust it properly so that it doesn't stick. You can use a flat spatula to lift it up off the rolling board on to the pan.

Shallow fry it with oil. It will turn out golden brown and very crumbly.
Serve it with chutney.
