  2. Salt        to taste 
  3. Water         as needed 
  4. Oil        2-3 tsp 
Take a mixing bowl,add flour and salt mix well.Using water make it to to smooth dough,then add oil and knead for a minute and cover it and keep aside for at least 15-20 minutes.

Ingredients for Mutter Paneer Filling
  1. Paneer 8 oz(grated) 
  2. Frozen peas 3/4 cup 
  3. Onion 1 medium (finely Chopped) 
  4. green chillies 4 no.s

Method


  • Cook peas in microwave for 3 minutes,drain and keep aside. 
  • In a blender ,put green chillies,ginger,coriander leaves and cooked peas..grind them to a little coarse paste without water and keep aside. 
  • Heat a oil in a pan,add cumin seeds when it splutter add finely chopped onions and saute nicely till turn golden brown. 
  • Then add the grounded peas-chilli mixture and saute till raw smell leaves. 
  • After that add all dry powders and enough salt mix well and fry for a minute. 
  • And add grated paneer and stir fry for another 1 minute so that masala get nicely coated with the paneer. 
  • Lastly add some chopped coriander leaves and mix well and turn off the stove. 
  • After few minutes squeeze the lime juice to the mutter paneer masala n stir well and allow to cool completely.(keep covered till u use for filling).
  • Once it cool down completely,start preparing parathas.
  • Knead the resting dough for a few seconds and take a big lemon size ball,and roll it to 3" (dia ) and keep 2-3 spoon of mutter paneer filling and seal the edges together and again gently roll it like regular chapathi (with less pressure).Do the same for the remaining dough n filling. 
  • Heat a tawa,fry the parathas on both sides till turn light golden brown...drizzle some oil on n around the parathas.
