This unique paratha combines the goodness of paneer (Indian cottage cheese) and an assortment of vegetables, creating a mouthwatering and wholesome treat. Get ready to savor the goodness of this fusion delight, as it adds a whole new dimension to the world of parathas!
Paneer Vegetable Paratha Recipe: A Delectable Vegetarian Paratha Delight
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup grated paneer
- whey as required to make the dough (you can use drinking water instead)
- 2 tablespoon grated carrot
- Fresh coriander leaves
- 1-2 teaspoon ghee for roasting the paratha
- Dash of black pepper powder
Method:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, grated paneer, grated carrot, chopped coriander leaves, and crushed black pepper for a delightful blend of flavors and textures.
2. Gradually add the whey into the mixture, pouring in a little at a time, until the dough reaches a soft and pliable consistency.
3. Knead the dough thoroughly and then cover it, letting it rest for 10 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld, resulting in a more delectable paratha.
4. Divide the dough into small balls and gently roll each ball into a paratha, taking care not to make it too thin. The perfect thickness will ensure a well-cooked and flavorful paneer vegetable paratha.
5. Place the rolled paratha on a heated skillet and roast it until both sides turn a delightful golden brown. The sizzling sound and mouthwatering aroma will let you know when it’s perfectly done and ready to be enjoyed!
6. After roasting the paratha to perfection, brush either side of it with ghee. This final touch adds a rich and delicious flavor, elevating the taste of the paneer vegetable paratha to a whole new level. Enjoy the melt-in-your-mouth goodness!
7. Cut the paratha into quarters or smaller pieces and serve immediately. Enjoy the delicious blend of paneer and vegetables in every bite!
You can make this paratha with just paneer, but the vegetables make it more wholesome. This paneer paratha works great as breakfast, dinner or in the lunch box, and it’s also a good option for finger foods for babies and toddlers. Just cut the paratha into pieces and let them pick it up and eat it themselves. The whey also ups the nutritional quotient of this paratha, so do try to get some!
