For the palak dough

- Cover and keep aside for 15 minutes.
For the stuffing
- Heat the oil in a broad non-stick pan and add the cumin seeds.
- When the seeds crackle, add the green chillies and saute on a medium flame for a few seconds.
- Add the cauliflower and saute on a medium flame for 2 minutes.
- Add paneer, coriander, dried mango powder, chilli powder and salt, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 2 minutes, while stirring occasionally. Keep aside.
How to proceed
- To make the palak paneer paratha, divide the dough and the stuffing into 8 equal portions.
- Roll out a portion of the dough into a 150 mm. (6”) diameter circle using a little whole wheat flour for rolling.
- Place a portion of the stuffing on half of the circle, apply little water along with circumference and fold it over to make a semi-circle.
- Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and grease it with ¼ tsp of oil.
- Place the paratha on it and cook a medium flame till it turns golden brown in colour from both the sides. Keep pressing with spatula so the paratha cooks well.
- Repeat steps 2 to 5 to make 7 more parathas.
- Serve the palak paneer paratha immediately with fresh curds.
