Paratha’s are anytime favorite for me .. i’m sure for most of us too .  They are an excellent and quick option for breakfast, lunch and dinner .They are very filling and there are tons of options for filling and flavours. Every paratha has its own distinct taste .Another best thing abouth them is that they do not need any side dish, just some plain curd and pickle is enough.

I have already posted few stuffed paratha’s here before like  Aloo paratha , mooli paratha, gobi paratha , onion paratha and today it’s my daughters fav Paneer Paratha .

It’s simple , easy , quick and healthy . If you are a paneer lover, you will surely love this paratha anytime of the day.It is a kid friendly dish too.I often make them for my kids lunch box or for evening snacks.N they just love it.

Few Points to note while making Paneer Paratha Recipe :

  • Knead the dough nicely to make soft & pliable . Also rest the dough for at least 30 mins.
  • Use fresh Paneer for best result.
  • While rolling for the first time don’t give more pressure at the center as the filling is going to be placed in the center.Roll very gently and dust the flour as required. Centre be little thick and edges little thin.
  • If you are a beginner, start preparing parathas with little quantity of filling and gradually increase the stuffing.
  • if doing or kids, you can make it more simple by omitting few spices .
