Ingredients
1.5 cup Atta (Whole wheat flour)
0.5 cup Maida (All-purpose flour)
1.25 tsp Salt (Divided for dough and marinade)
3 tbsp Sunflower Oil (1 tbsp for dough, 2 tbsp for filling)
2 pcs Onion (Medium size; 1 thinly sliced for filling, 1 for raw rings)
1 pcs Capsicum (Medium size, any color, thinly sliced)
4 tsp Ghee (For cooking parathas)
4 tbsp Mint Chutney (For spreading on the roll)
1 pcs Lemon (Cut into 4 wedges for serving)
Instructions
1
Prepare the Paratha Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1.5 cups atta, 0.5 cup maida, 0.5 tsp salt, and 1 tbsp sunflower oil.
Gradually add water while mixing to form a soft, pliable dough. Knead for 7-8 minutes until smooth.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 20 minutes.
2
Marinate the Paneer and Vegetables
In a separate bowl, whisk the dahi until smooth. Add 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste, 1 tbsp besan, 0.25 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp Kashmiri red chili powder, 1 tsp coriander powder, 0.5 tsp garam masala, 0.5 tsp chaat masala, 1 tsp crushed kasuri methi, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and the remaining 0.75 tsp salt.
Mix thoroughly to create a lump-free marinade.
Gently fold in the paneer cubes, 1 sliced onion, and the sliced capsicum. Ensure everything is evenly coated.
Cover and let it marinate for a minimum of 20 minutes.
3
Cook the Paneer Filling
Heat 2 tbsp of sunflower oil in a wide pan over medium-high heat.
Add the entire marinated paneer and vegetable mixture to the pan.
Sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring gently, until the vegetables are tender-crisp and the paneer is lightly browned. The marinade should be cooked through and clinging to the paneer.
Remove from heat and set aside.
4
Cook the Parathas
Divide the rested dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a smooth ball.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out one dough ball into a 7-inch circle.
Heat a tawa (griddle) over medium heat. Place the paratha on the tawa and cook for about 30-45 seconds, until small bubbles appear.
Flip the paratha, spread 1/2 tsp of ghee on the cooked side, and flip again.
Spread another 1/2 tsp of ghee on the other side. Cook for another minute, pressing gently with a spatula, until both sides have golden-brown spots.
Repeat for the remaining dough balls and keep the cooked parathas warm in a casserole or wrapped in a cloth.
5
Assemble and Serve
Lay a warm paratha on a plate. Spread 1 tbsp of mint chutney evenly across its surface.
Place a quarter of the paneer filling in a line down the center.
Top with a few raw onion rings and a sprinkle of the remaining chaat masala.
Tightly roll the paratha from one side to the other. You can wrap the bottom half in parchment paper or foil to hold it together.
