Paneer paratha

Ingredients:
100 gms fresh paneer
1 finely chopped onion
1 tbsp coriander leaves finely chopped
1 or 2 finely chopped green chilies
Salt as per taste
1/2 tsp graram masala powder
Roti dough (Wheat flour kneaded with some salt and water till it is reasonably soft and pliable)
                                                       Ghee / Oil for frying

Method:
1. Crumble the paneer and add the chopped onions, coriander, green chillies and garam masala and mix well. Save the salt until the moment you are ready to make the parathas. This will prevent the paneer and the onions from giving off water and save the parathas from getting soggy
2. Make large balls from the dough, roughly twice the size of a regular roti.
3. Roll it into a 4" disc. Add 2 tbsps of the paneer mix in the middle of the disc. Apply a little water on the edges of the disc and roll them up to make a kind of pouch for the paneer
4. Flatten the pouch, dip it in dry flour and roll it out back into a 5-6" paratha
5. Roast the paratha on a tawa/girdle with some ghee or oil. Serve hot with pickles and raita or curd
