• 2 cups fresh paneer


• 1 onion finely chopped


• 1/2 tsp raw mango powder (amchoor)


• 1 tsp cumin seeds lightly roasted


• Salt to taste


• 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh coriander leaves


• 2 green chillies finely chopped(optional)

Method

• Mix the Paneer with Onion, raw mango powder, green chillies, coriander, cumin seeds and salt to taste and mix well.


• Knead the whole-wheat flour, with salt and little oil or ghee with water  into a smooth, firm dough and keep aside for 1-2 hours.


• Divide all the dough into equal sized balls. Flour a clean surface and roll each ball out into a circle about 3" in diameter.


• Put about 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoon of the paneer mixture into the center of the circle and fold the edges over to cover the filling completely. Gently press to seal.


• Roll out into a circle of 7-8" diameter.


• Heat a griddle and  place a paratha on the griddle.


• Flip when you see tiny bubbles rise on the surface of the paratha.


• As soon as the first flip is done, drizzle a bit of ghee on the top and spread well over the surface of the paratha.


• Flip again in 30 seconds and drizzle ghee on this surface too.


•  The paratha is done when both sides are crispy and golden brown.


• Serve with yogurt,  pickle or green chutney.
