Spring Paneer Parathas.

Here is what you need.
For the filling :-
  • 1 cup crumbled paneer.
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup chopped spring onions ( the more of the greens)
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 1 tsp finely chopped ginger
  • 6 to 7 green chillies finely chopped
  • Salt to taste.
For the cover:-
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour(atta)
  • 1/4 cup maida
  • Oil
  • Water
  • Salt to taste
Method:-
  1. In a bowl mix the flour , maida ,salt and oil and enough water so as to make a chapati like dough.
  2. Keep this aside cover with a plastic .
  3. In another bowl mix the ingredients of the filling and microwave it for 5 mins on high. This will make all the flavours blend well. Cool this mixture.
  4. Now make medium sized balls of the dough.
  5. Roll them into puri sized circle and then add 1 to 2 tbsp of the filling.
  6. Seal it well and then dust them with flour and roll them into parathas.
  7. On a tava or griddle, heat some oil and cook the parathas well on both sides. Add some oil
  8. Serve hot with dahi and mango pickle.
Tips
  1. I use the home made paneer, since fresh paneer is not available here.
  2. For making panner at home., boil 2 litres of milk.
  3. In a bowl, take 1/2 cup of yogurt and add juice of 1 small lime and 1 tbsp of vinegar.
  4. Add this mixture to the boiling milk and switch off the gas. The milk will curdle.
  5. Do not stir. Cover the milk for 10 mins.
  6. Remove this in a muslin cloth and drain all the water.
