For Cooking:

• Ghee or oil, as needed

1. Prepare the Dough:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the do-cha mix flour and salt.
2. Add a tablespoon of oil or ghee and mix well.
3. Gradually add water and knead the mixture into a soft, smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.

2. Prepare the Paneer Filling:

1. In a bowl, add crumbled paneer, green chilies, red chili powder, garam masala, cumin powder, salt, and coriander leaves.
2. Mix well to combine all the spices evenly with the paneer. Adjust salt and spices as needed.

3. Shape and Fill the Parathas:

1. Divide the dough into small, equal-sized balls (about the size of a lemon).
2. Take one dough ball, dust it with flour, and roll it out into a small disc.
3. Place a spoonful of the paneer filling in the centre of the disc.
4. Gather the edges of the dough to enclose the filling completely, pinching it at the top to seal. Press gently to flatten.
5. Dust with a little flour and gently roll it out again into a round paratha, about 6-7 inches in diameter. Be careful not to press too hard, so the filling doesn’t come out.

4. Cook the Parathas:

1. Heat a tawa  over medium heat.
2. Place the rolled paratha on the hot tawa and cook until you see bubbles or light brown spots appear on one side.
3. Flip the paratha, apply a small amount of ghee or oil, and cook for another minute.
4. Flip again, apply a little more ghee or oil on the other side, and cook until both sides are golden brown and cooked through.

5. Serve:

• Serve hot with yoghurt, pickle, or any chutney of your choice.
