    About the recipe

    Paneer aloo paratha is a popular breakfast or brunch dish in India. It is usually made from wheat flour bread stuffed with a filling of cottage cheese (paneer) and boiled potatoes (aloo). The filling is seasoned with aromatic spices and herbs. After filling, the paratha dough is rolled into a disc and shallow fried until crispy and golden brown.

    To make this paneer and aloo paratha, I use multi-grain flour, low oil and spice to make it more health-friendly. I have not added onion and cilantro, as my family does not like them; otherwise, they both give the parathas a nice mild flavour. To mimic the cilantro flavour, I use partially crushed coriander seeds. Although it cannot replace cilantro, it imparts a cilantro aroma to the paratha. I also add raw garlic and fresh mint leaves to impart depth to the paratha. The cheese potato paratha comes out so tasty and crispy with irresistible minty-garlic flavour that it melts in your mouth like anything! Try it!

    These cheesy potato parathas are heavy that they will satisfy you with one or two. Serve it with chutneys, yogurt dip and pickles to enjoy the best!

    Ingredients

    To make this paneer potato paratha, you need the following:

    ingredients for aloo paneer paratha
    • Paneer/cottage cheese - Crumbled cheese goes perfectly with this recipe.
    • Aloo/potatoes - To make these parathas, you need boiled and cooled potatoes. Mash them using a masher or grate them. I prefer grating. 
    • Flour- It is the base for stuffing the paneer aloo mixture. I have used multi-grain flour. Use any.
    • Oil- Use as little as possible to fry the parathas.
    • Water - Binding agent required to knead the dough.
    • Seasoning: salt, red chilli powder, garam masala, cumin seeds, chat masala, coriander seeds, garlic, green chilli, and mint leaves.

    • In a mixing bowl, knead the dough by combining flour and water, as shown in the video.
    • Refrigerate this dough for about 15-20 minutes to set.

    Step-2 Prepare the paneer aloo mixture

    Meanwhile, the dough is resting in the fridge. Prepare the mixture for stuffing as:

    • Grate/crumble paneer and aloo.
    • Combine the paneer, aloo and all the seasoning.
    • Mix well to coat the spices well.

    Step-3 Prepare paratha

    • Take a small ball from the dough and slightly press it between your fingers and palm, rotating it clockwise to make it large enough to roll easily.
    • Dust this disc with some dry flour. Roll it to a uniform disc of size 3 inches.
    • Fill the potato-cottage cheese stuffing in the centre of the disc and bring the edges together to seal the paratha edges. (image below)
    • Press the stuffed ball to smoothen out the surface.
    • Dip in dry flour and roll it into a disc of size 6 inches approximately.

    Step-4 Fry the cottage cheese potato paratha

    • Once you roll the paratha uniformly, it’s time to cook it.
    • Gently lift the paratha and place it on the medium-hot greased griddle.
    • Let it cook for a minute on medium heat.
    • Flip the side. Apply oil to it and turn it again. Cook for another minute or until brown spots appears on the paratha.
    • Repeat the process with another side of the paratha.
    • Cook until both sides of the paratha turn brown.
    • Serve hot with whatever you like!!
    • Enjoy paneer aloo paratha.

    Variations

    • Add oil and a little salt while kneading the dough to have flakiness in the parathas.
    • You can use onions, spring onions, and cilantro to give parathas a subtle flavour and aroma.
    • For the spicy version, try adding a spoonful of schezwan sauce to the paneer aloo mixture.
    • Fry with ghee or butter to give parathas a rich buttery taste.

    How to serve paneer aloo paratha?

    You can serve paneer aloo paratha in many ways:

    • The most common way to serve paneer aloo paratha is with plain yogurt or curd. This duo goes hand in hand. The creamy yogurt helps in balancing out the spiciness of the paratha.
    • Have you ever tried paratha with chutney? This combo is great as it boosts parathas flavour with its herbal aroma. Try this mint chutney, coriander chutney, and carrot chutney!
    • Flavoured yogurt dips -Serving with Haydari, minty yogurt dip, and dahi-raita, these parathas taste so good as it adds a cool, refreshing touch to the parathas.
    • Pickles are the best companions of any paratha. Their flavourful spices and aroma make parathas so tempting and irresistible.
    • Masala chai - Try this homemade 4 ingredient chai spice blend to make your chai masala to serve this yummy aloo with paneer stuffed paratha. You will be addicted to this amazing combination!
    • Wrap- As it own by making wraps with cucumber slices, lettuce, onions, tomatoes etc., whatever you like.

    Storage

    • Make parathas fresh whenever you want.
    • You can store the filling for up to a week. Keep it refrigerated.
    • Store the leftover paratha in the fridge.
    • Reheat in the microwave for a minute before use.

    Tips

    • Use a minimum amount of water first for kneading the dough. I have used approximately 1 cup + ¼ cup of water to make dough of 1 ½ cups of multi-grain flour.
    • The paneer aloo mixture serves six parathas. It may vary depending upon the amount of filling and size of paratha you roll.
    • Grease the griddle with oil before making parathas to avoid sticking to it if you use an iron griddle.
    • Cool the boiled potatoes before use.
    • Knead dough of soft consistency.
    • To make paratha crispy, roll it thinly.
    • This recipe is low in oil and spice, so adjust as per your taste.
    • Garlic gives this paratha a sharp and delicious flavour. So I suggest not avoiding this.
    • Use a mild quantity of fresh herbs, especially mint or parsley leaves, to avoid overpowering them.
