Allergy Advice
This recipe contains Dairy Products. People with such allergies should avoid adding such ingredients or try to replace them with better choices.
Ingredients
3
1 cup Rajgira flour
half cup Paneer, grated
2 pieces Green chillies
1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
1 teaspoon Cumin powder
2 tbsp Coriander, Chopped
Salt as per taste
2 Teaspoons Oil or ghee
Tips
As Rajgira flour is gluten-free, the dough might be slightly delicate. Roll the dough gently or use parchment paper to avoid sticking.
You can substitute paneer with tofu for a vegan version of the paratha.
Pair with yogurt or raita for a balanced and refreshing meal.
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, combine Rajgira flour, grated paneer, chopped green chillies, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander leaves, and salt.
Gradually add water to form a soft dough. Knead the dough until smooth. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes.
Divide the dough into three equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Using a rolling pin, gently roll out each ball on a lightly floured surface or between two sheets of parchment paper into a flat paratha.
Heat a flat-bottomed pan (tawa) on medium heat.
Place the rolled paratha on the hot pan and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, drizzling oil or ghee around the edges.
Cook until golden brown and crisp. Repeat for the remaining dough.
Serve the Rajgira Paneer Paratha hot with yogurt, pickle, or a side of fresh salad.
Notes
Individuals with Lactose Intolerance: Paneer is a dairy product, so those with lactose intolerance should avoid this recipe or use lactose-free paneer.
People on Low-Fat Diets: Though healthy, paneer and ghee are relatively high in fats, so those on a low-fat diet should consume this dish in moderation.
