Paneer paratha

Paneer Paratha is a yummy whole wheat paratha stuffed with paneer (cottage cheese) and various spices. This is another exotic stuffed paratha from Indian cuisine. There are so many different type of parathas like mooli paratha, gobhi paratha and onion paratha. The best part is that every paratha has its own distinct taste. It is an all-time favorite paratha at home.

This is a simple and quick paratha recipe made with basic ingredients. Make this paratha with homemade paneer. The paneer retains its freshness and softness even when cooked. To make paneer paratha knead a soft and smooth dough as paneer has moisture. Grate or crumble paneer finely. At last add chopped coriander and spices. Some people add chopped onion with paneer and some cook aloo paneer paratha.

Paneer is an important part of Indian cuisine and used in many curries, gravies, sweets or snacks. This is an integral part of Indian main course. Paneer is a type of cheese which is easiest to make at home. It contains a fairly high level of fat and proteins as well as some minerals, especially calcium and phosphorus. It is also a good source of fat soluble vitamins A and D.

This can be served with curd, pickle and any curry. It is also a great idea for kid’s lunchbox. You can cook this delicious paratha during breakfast, lunch or dinner whenever you want.
