Punjabi paneer methi paratha is an even more exciting version of paneer paratha made using whole wheat flour, low fat paneer that is perked up with aromatic fenugreek leaves.
To make methi paneer paratha, first make the dough. For that combine the wheat flour and salt and knead into a soft dough, using enough water. Cover the dough with a wet muslin cloth and leave aside for 10 minutes. For stuffing, heat the oil in a non-stick pan and add the cumin seeds and ginger-green chilli paste. When the seeds crackle, add the fenugreek leaves, turmeric powder and salt and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the paneer and mix well. Divide the dough and stuffing into 4 equal portions. Roll a portion of dough, place a portion of stuffing in the centre, bring all the sides to the centre and seal it. Again roll into a 4" paratha and cook on a medium flame on hot tava till golden brown. Serve hot.
