For the dough

  • Knead again till smooth, cover with a wet muslin cloth and keep aside.

For the stuffing

  • Heat the oil in a non-stick kadhai, add the onions and saut on a medium flame till they turn translucent.
  • Add the cauliflower, fenugreek leaves, salt and turmeric powder, mix well and saut on a medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes, while stirring continuously.
  • Add the paneer, ginger, chilli powder, coriander powder and salt (as required), mix well and cook on a medium flame for another 2 minutes, while stirring gently. Keep aside.
  • When cool, divide into 4 equal portions and keep aside.

How to proceed

  • Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll out each portion into 75 mm. (3") diameter circle.
  • Put one portion of the stuffing in the centre of each paratha and fold all the sides in such a way so as to form an envelope.
  • Roll again using a little flour into a 125 mm ( 5" ) diameter circle.
  • Place the paratha on a non-stick tava (griddle) with the open edge at the bottom. Cook using 1 tsp of oil till brown spots appear on both the sides.
  • Repeat with the remaining dough and stuffing to make 3 more parathas. Serve hot with curds.
