For dough:
- 1 cup wheat flour
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoon oil
- 1 cup water or as required
Instructions
Make the dough ready:
- First make the dough ready by mixing the whole wheat flour with water, oil and salt. Remember that while adding water, add little at a time and keep on mixing with your fingers till dough of semi-soft consistency is reached.

Make the stuffing ready:
- Take a mixing bowl and add grated paneer, finely chopped onion, red chili powder, chat masala and salt. Mix well.
Let us start making the parathas:
- Make small balls from the dough of equal size. The size should be a little bigger than the table tennis ball.
- Roll the dough ball into a little bit of dry wheat flour and roll it into small thick flat round shape.
- Place 2 tablespoon of the stuffing on it and close from all sides making a ball.
- Dust it in dry whole wheat flour and roll it into bigger round shapes, just like a chapati.
- If you see any air bubbles while rolling, simply pat it gently with your fingertips.
- Apply 1 teaspoon ghee on the frying pan and place the paratha on it.
- After 5 minutes, apply 1 teaspoon ghee on the upper side and turn. Fry for 5 minutes.
- The paratha is done. Serve it with curds or any dish.
Notes
You can add finely chopped coriander leaves and finely chopped green chillies to the stuffing.
