Paneer Paratha( Indian Cheese Flatbread):
Lockdown is taken all my creativity. I lost interest in everything. Waking up and roaming around the kitchen to bedroom and living room is kinda suffocating. Today, When I make Paneer Paratha for lunch I feel like shooting the picture of it. As a Bengali rice is my first choice, though I like stuffed paratha as well. I love Aloo Paratha the most. Today I am not in the mood to make stuffing for it, as it takes a lot of time. I made Paneer Paratha.
Paneer Paratha is the easiest and healthy paratha. You don't need to make stuffing earlier. Just grate some paneer, mix it with chopped onion, garlic, green chilies and coriander leaves with seasoning, stuffing is ready. How easy is that? Quick, easy delicious hot paratha in the table in a jiffy. Follow the recipe and pour your comments on how it goes.
