MATTAR PANEER STUFFED PARATHA

Servings: 3 to 4

Ingredients:

Whole Wheat Flour – 1 cup

Refined Flour – 1 cup

Ghee – 2 tbsp

Salt – as per taste

White Oil – for frying parathas

Paneer (or chenna) – 1 cup

Green Peas paste – 1 cup
Tomato - 1 medium, chopped

Tandoori Masala – ½ tbsp.

Sugar – 1 tbsp

Ginger paste – 1 tbsp

Green Chilli paste – 1 tbsp

Cashew Nut – 2 tbsp, crushed into small pieces

Preparation:

First I will tell you how to make the chenna dry, take a piece of cotton or muslin cloth and place it on a colander, put the chenna in the middle of the cloth. Wrap the chenna with the cloth from all sides and squeeze the cloth slowly to remove water. Make it completely dry and keep aside. If you use dry paneer, then its easier to prepare the stuffing.

In a bowl, add wheat flour, refined flour, salt and mix them with your hand. Then add ghee and again mix it. After that start adding water slowly to make a soft dough. Cover the dough with a wet cloth for 20/25 minutes.

For Stuffing

Grated Paneer and Green Peas Paste

Heat oil in a pan, add ginger, green chilli paste and fry for a minute, add chopped tomatoes and fry in low flame for another one minute.

Then add squeezed chenna or paneer , green peas paste, tandoori masala, sugar, salt and cashew pieces and mix them well. Fry them for 5/6 minutes in low flame till the mixture is fried and becomes dry.

Now take a portion from the dough, flatten it and put the stuffing in the middle of it. Cover the stuffing from all sides to make it a ball.

Roll this in paratha shape and place it on the nonstick pan.  Shallow fry both sides without oil.

Then apply white oil and fry them till the colour becomes light brown.

Serve this wonderful Matar Paneer Stuffed Paratha with raita, vegetable curry, pickles etc.
