- Description : Palak paneer paratha recipe with step by step pictures, dough made using palak puree and scrambled paneer stuffed inside the paratha
Palak leaves a small bunch Green chili 2 Mint leaves a handful (optional) Atta | wheat flour 2 and 1/2 cup Ajwain 1/2 tsp (optional) Oil 2 tsp Paneer scrambled 1 cup (200 gms) Coriander powder 1/2 tblsp Green chili 2 Cumin powder 1/2 tblsp Garam masala 1/2 tblsp Onion 1 (optional) Salt as needed Butter | ghee to cook the parathas
Method :
- Blanch the palak leaves by immersing the leaves in hot water for 2 minutes.
- Drain the water completely and run through cold water.
- This process of running into cold water, stops the cooking process and retains the green color of the palak.
- Once it is cool, grind this along with green chilis and mint leaves into a fine puree.
- In a wide bowl add the atta, spinach puree, ajwain seeds and salt.
- Knead into a smooth pliable dough adding water little by little.
- Once done, drizzle 2 tsp of oil and coat evenly. Cover and keep aside.
- Let’s make the paneer filling.
- I made a very simple filling.
- Scramble the paneer and add the salt, coriander powder, cumin powder and garam masala.
- Add finely chopped chilis too.
- Mix everything well. If adding onions, chop them very finely and add it to the paneer mixture.
- Addition of onions makes the parathas more softer.
- Filling is ready.
- Divide the palak dough into equal big lemon sized balls.
- Take one dough ball and dust it with flour.
- Roll it into a small thick disc.
- Place 1 and 1/4 tblsp of paneer mixture on the center of the rolled disc.
- Bring the edges together and cover the filling.
- Dust this generously with flour and gently roll it into a thick paratha or little thinner if you want.
- Place it on a hot tawa and cook on both sides.
- Once both sides get golden spots, drizzle with ghee or butter. You can use oil too.
- Take it out from the tawa and serve with raita or pickle. You can have this without any side dish too.
- Repeat the same for the rest of the dough and paneer filling.
- Instead of green chilis you can add red chili powder to the paneer filling.
- Instead of paneer filling you can use the aloo paratha filling too.
- Palak paneer paratha can be packed for kids lunch box too.
