Paneer Paratha
A stuffed griddle bread from the north Indian breakfast canon — crisp in places, pillowy in others, with a savoury paneer heart. 45 minutes of mostly hands-off cooking.

- Paneer150 g, crumbled
- Ghee4 tbsp
- Wheat Flour2 cups + extra for rolling

Knead the flour with salt and just enough water into a soft dough; rest 20 minutes under a damp cloth.
- 2
Mix the paneer filling with salt, green chili and cilantro.
- 3
Roll a ball of dough into a small disc, cup the filling inside, seal, and roll out gently — flour lightly so nothing bursts.

Roast on a hot tawa until freckled, flip, then brush with ghee and cook until golden spots bloom on both sides.
- 5
Stack them in a cloth to stay soft; serve with cold yogurt or pickle.
Chef's tip
Press gently while roasting with the back of a spoon so the layers puff.
