Methi Paneer Parathas      

A yummy variation to paneer parathas... I have added methi to these parathas as it provides substantial amounts of vitamin A and iron. Relish these parathas with low fat curds, or dal. 

Cooking Time : 20 mins.
Preparation Time : 10 mins.

Makes 4 parathas.

  
 
For the dough
¾ cup whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta) 
salt to taste 
For the methi paneer stuffing
½ cup fenugreek (methi) leaves, finely chopped 
½ cup low fat paneer, grated 
½ teaspoon cumin seeds (jeera) 
½ teaspoon ginger-green chilli paste 
1/8 teaspoon turmeric powder (haldi) 
1 teaspoon oil 
salt to taste 
 
  
  For the dough  
1. Combine the wheat flour and salt and knead into a soft dough, using enough water. Knead well.  
2. Cover the dough with a wet muslin cloth and leave aside for 10 minutes.  
3. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions.  
  For the methi paneer stuffing  
1. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan and add the cumin seeds and ginger-green chilli paste.  
2. When the seeds crackle, add the fenugreek leaves, turmeric powder and salt and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes.  
3. Add the paneer and mix well. Divide the stuffing into 4 equal portions. Keep aside.
