Carrot-Paneer Paratha/Bread Recipe

The paratha or flatbread was previously conceived in North India, especially in Punjab. But, now it is conceived in almost every corner of the world. It is nothing but a roti stuffed with different vegetable either boiled or raw. The variations that are possible are enumerable. This time I am trying a new combination of vegetables for paratha. That combination is Carrot and Paneer/Cottage cheese.

  • Water as required to kneed the dough
Procedure:

  2. In a bowl, mix all the other ingredients except clarified butter.
  3. Now take a small portion of dough and roll it a little. 
  4. Place a small quantity of carrot and paneer mixture in center, and fold in the roti so as to wrap around the stuffing. Make sure stuffing is not visible and will not come out while rolling. Now, roll this gently with the help of rolling pin to make a paratha.
