My earliest memories of food have been with Parathas, All sorts, aalu, mooli, gobhi, paneer, missi roti, dal paratha, leftovers paratha… Oh so many.
Most of the lunches at school were parathas too. 🙂 Here is my fav version.
Paneer and Methi 🙂
You shall need: [serves 1]
75 gms crumbled Paneer [put the paneer on a cloth and let the excess water come off]
1/3 cup finely chopped Methi leaves/Fenugreek leaves
Salt to taste
1 tsp coarse Anardana powder
1 tsp lemon juice
Chilly powder to taste
1/2 tsp dhaniya powder
1/2 tsp roasted jeera powder

Oil
Spatula
Ghee
Dry flour
Rolling board and pin [chakla belan]

Method:
- In a bowl, mix the paneer, methi, salt, chilly powder, lemon juice, salt and anardana powder.
- Take a golf size ball of the dough. Roll it using some flour.
- Apply some ghee in the center and place half of the paneer mix on it.
- Wrap it in a parcel and roll it again.
- Heat the tava and add few drops of oil on it.
- Place the paratha on it and cook it on both sides.

- Be sure to cook the paratha on medium flame.
- Serve with love
Cheers,
Looks yum. Your pictures are mouth-watering. I never tried mixing up paneer with the methi. Also just wondering – what’s the anardana for? Does it give a special flavour?
By the way I tried the pear and pomegranate salad, turned out great. Added some honey so the kids loved it too. Thanks.
Thanks for trying the salad 🙂
Anardana has that slight crunch it is also a little sweet and sour-ish.
I am definitely going to try this!
Have you ever had the Turkish spinach and feta gozleme? This reminded me of it 🙂
Oh yes. It is my list. The gozleme is my list to make and also on my culinary map.
Lemme know how it turns out 🙂
