#paratha - Stuffed Paneer Parathas needs no introduction. A very popular item in the menu of most of the restaurants, they are very much relished by everyone. But there is a slight twist here. I have made use of some zaatar, a Middle Eastern spice in this recipe for a fusion touch. You can enjoy with yoghurt or pickle. I like mine with butter.

Steps

1

In a bowl, mix together both the flours, salt, oil and ajwain. Knead a dough by adding required quantity of water. Keep aside for 10-15 minutes. Make a paste with zaatar and oil and keep aside.
2

Mix together all the ingredients for the stuffing and keep aside.
3

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll out each portion by dusting some flour.
4

Spread little of the zaatar paste all over leaving the edges. Then spread some of the paneer mix and place another rolled out chapatti over it, sealing all edges.
5

Roll out again slightly and shallow fry on a hot tawa / griddle by drizzling some oil over it and around the edges. Make similar parathas and relish with pickle, yoghurt or butter.
