Paneer-Gobhi Paratha (पनीर-गोभी पराठा)

Yesterday I was in two minds about the menu for the Lunch Box. At first , I thought about the routine Gobhi Ki Sabzi and Phulke but somehow the sheer thought of it seemed so sad.So I thought of making something with the same ingredients which not only looked better in the Lunch Box but was also nutritious.So here's the recipe:

Ingredients: (For the Dough)

Done nothing special for the dough.

Mix some salt ,1 spoon oil & 3 cups of Wheat floor with water and knead well.

Ingredients: (For the Stuffing)

Finely grated Cauliflower -1 1/2 cup

Finely grated Paneer - 1/2 cup

Ginger-Garlic paste- 1 1/2 teaspoon

Green Chillies -2-3 ,finely chopped

Finely chopped Coriander -1 tablespoon

Fennel Seeds ( सौंफ ) - 1 teaspoon

Dhania Powder - 1 teaspoon

Salt and Chilli Powder to taste

1/2 spoon Sugar

Mix all these ingredients together and keep it aside.

Oil for applying on both sides of Paratha

Method:

Divide the dough in small balls the way you make it for Chapati or plain paratha.
Roll out the ball into a disc. Remember that the disc should not be too thin or else it will break while rolling it with the stuffing.
Put some amount of the cauliflower mixture (taking a judgement of the size of the roll) and bring the edges together and seal it properly like a Modak (मोदक).
Roll out the paratha gently ,being careful not to break it.
Heat a griddle and grease it with little oil.
Place the Paratha and let it turn golden brown. Repeat for the other side as well.
Serve it with Tomato Sauce or Green Chutney.

You can also saute the grated paneer till golden brown. But then its become bit oily and can make the stuffing soggy. So if you are using sauteed paneer , don't add oil while cooking .
