Green Peas and Cottage Cheese (Paneer) Paratha

 INGREDIENTS:

  1. Green Peas 1 cup (200 grams)
  2. Cottage Cheese 1 cup (Grated)
  3. Cumin Seeds 1 tsp
  4. Asafoetida 1/2 tsp
  5. Ginger grated 1 tsp
  6. Green Chili chopped 1 tsp
  7. Salt as required
  8. Wheat flour 1 cup
  9. All-Purpose Flour 1 cup
  10. Water as required
  11. Oil 3-4 tbsp

METHOD:

Serving Size: 5-6

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds and asafoetida. When the seeds splutter add grated ginger and chopped green chilis. Sauté until the ingredients release their aroma.

Add in the green peas and salt to the pan. Pour 1/2 cup water and cook the peas uncovered. By covering the pan, the peas will lose its green color. Ensure the mixture becomes dry.

Meanwhile combine wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt and 2 tbsp oil in a bowl. Gradually add water and knead it into a soft and smooth dough. Cover the dough and allow the dough to rest for 15-20 minutes.

Once the green peas mixture is cooked transfer the mixture to a plate and let it cool.

Grind it coarsely. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add grated paneer. Mix thoroughly and set aside.

Take a portion of the dough and shape it into round ball. Dust with dry flour and roll into 4–5-inch diameter. Place 3-4 tsp stuffing in the center and seal the dough from all sides. Flatten the stuffed dough ball with your fingers so that the mixture spreads evenly.

Dust the dough ball with dry flour and roll out into a thick circle.

Heat a griddle and cook the paratha on medium heat from both sides. Apply oil to get a golden-brown texture. Once cooked transfer the paratha on a serving plate. Similarly prepare rest of the parathas.

Serve matar paneer stuffed parathas hot with yogurt, pickle or any chutney as per your taste.
