1/2 teaspoon powdered turmeric

1 tablespoon red chilli powder

1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds

200 gm paneer

4 teaspoon grated coconut

3 tablespoon ghee

1 1/2 tablespoon refined oil

1 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder

1 cup chopped coriander leaves

Step 1 Knead a dough

To prepare this mouth-watering paratha recipe, take a dough kneading plate and mix together all-purpose flour or maida, wheat flour, salt and ghee. Using a little water, knead the ingredients well into a soft and smooth dough. Keep this dough aside for a while till the stuffing is prepared.\

Step 2 Prepare the stuffing

Next, put a pan on medium flame and heat a little oil in it. Once the oil is hot enough, add the cumin seeds in it and let them crackle for a few seconds. Afterwards, add the grated coconut and crumbled paneer in it along with salt and turmeric. Cook for a minute and then add coriander powder, red chilli powder and garam masala powder in the pan and mix well all the ingredients. Cook for 2-3 minutes, sprinkle the chopped coriander leaves and switch off the burner. Transfer to a bowl and keep this mixture aside to cool down.

Step 3 Make the paratha

Now, take out a small portion of the dough and put a tawa on medium flame. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a small puri and stuff 2-3 tbsp of the paneer mixture and fold well into a ball. Using a little dry flour, carefully roll the ball into a paratha and put it on tawa.

Step 4 Cook and serve
