Everything you need to know about this recipe
Paneer Paratha is a classic North Indian breakfast and snack that combines the protein‑rich paneer with the wholesome whole‑wheat flatbread, reflecting the region’s love for dairy and hearty breads. It is often served during festivals, family gatherings, and as a comforting street‑food staple.
In Punjab, the paratha is usually made with a generous amount of butter and served with butter‑laden yogurt. In Rajasthan, spices like ajwain and carom seed are added to the dough. Some South Indian versions use millet flour instead of wheat for a gluten‑free twist.
It is typically served hot with a side of plain yogurt, raita, or pickles, and sometimes accompanied by a dollop of ghee on top. A glass of buttermilk or chai completes the traditional breakfast.
Paneer Paratha is popular during festivals like Diwali and Lohri, as well as on weekend family brunches. Its rich protein content makes it a favored choice for post‑fast meals during Ramadan evenings.
The combination of freshly made paneer and a soft, flaky whole‑wheat paratha creates a balanced dish of protein, carbs, and healthy fats, showcasing the Indian tradition of integrating dairy into everyday meals.
Common errors include not pressing enough water out of the paneer, over‑filling the stuffing, and cooking the paratha on too high heat which can burn the exterior while leaving the inside raw.
Vinegar provides a quick, consistent acid level that separates curds cleanly without adding extra flavor, which is ideal for a neutral‑tasting paneer that will later absorb the spice blend.
Yes. Prepare the paneer and dough a day ahead and keep them refrigerated. Uncooked stuffed dough balls can be frozen; cooked parathas reheat well on a skillet or in a microwave for a minute.
The paratha should be golden‑brown with slight puffing, and the interior should be soft yet firm. The paneer stuffing should be evenly distributed and not watery.
When both sides show golden brown spots, the paratha has puffed up, and a gentle press releases a faint sizzling sound, the paratha is fully cooked.
