Capsicum Paneer Parathas

This next dish is inspired from Tannu Bhaabhi’s kitchen. I have made a few additions and have modified it for my ease. This is extremely healthy since it’s made from whole wheat flour/Atta. Although I have made indian rotis/bread prior to this, this is only my second time with stuffed parathas (the other one being aloo paratha which is yet to be posted here). There is always an option with going either with both capsicum and paneer or just with any one of them. I have gone ahead with a side of creamy spicy chicken with these parathas.

Ingredients

• 1 ½  cup Whole Wheat Flour/ Atta
• Salt and water as required
• ½ cup Green/red/yellow bell peppers/capsicum diced finely
• ½ cup paneer/cottage cheese
• 1 tbsp. kasoori methi
• 1 tbsp. red chilli flakes
• Pure ghee as required

Put the Paneer cubes in a bowl and add hot water to it. Let sit for about 15 minutes. Drain them and crumble them nicely with your fingers. (Be careful or else you will burn your fingers).

Knead the dough and let sit for 20 minutes.

In a bowl, add bell peppers, chilli flakes, kasoori methi & crumbled paneer. Mix well.

Divide the dough into equal size balls. Roll out the dough and place a spoonful of mixture in the middle. Seal the edges by pinching and bringing it toward the middle. Roll out, by dusting flour, into thick parathas.

Heat the tawa and cook the parathas. Drizzle some ghee on top. Flip onto the other side and drizzle some ghee on the other side too.

Transfer to a serving dish. I had made a chicken curry and raita to go with.
