Ingredients

cup Wheat flour- 2
cup Water- just enough to knead (½ -¾th of the cup)
teaspoon Salt- ¼
teaspoon Olive oil- ½
For the filling:
cup Paneer(Indian cottage cheese)- ½
Red onions-1/4 cup- chopped
medium White radish - 1 size
Finely chopped green chili-1
teaspoon Garam Masala Powder- ¾
tablespoon cilantro leaves- chopped- 2
teaspoon Turmeric powder- ¼
Salt- to taste
teaspoon Oil- 1
teaspoon Cumin seeds- ½

Preparation

1
Add salt, olive oil to the flour and add just enough water(1/2- 3/4th of the same measuring cup) to knead the flour into a thick dough. Cover and keep aside.
2
Grate the radish and squeeze well to remove all the water. Heat oil in a pan and add cumin seeds. When they sizzle add chopped onions and green chili. Stir fry well till onion turns transparent.
3
Add salt, turmeric powder, garam masala powder, grated radish and stir fry for another 4-5 minutes. Add the paneer and mix well. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes. Add cilantro leaves and mix once. Switch off. Let it cool and divide it into equal parts.
4
Divide the dough into equal parts. Take one lemon sized ball of the paratha dough and roll it flat. Keep one portion of the paratha filling and cover it from all sides with the rolled out dough. Slightly roll the pin again and make it flat and slightly thin. Make sure that you don't apply too much of pressure and squeeze out all the filling.
5
Heat a frying pan and transfer the paratha to the pan. Apply ghee/butter on all sides and on top. Let it cook and turn golden brown on one side. Flip the paratha on the other side, slightly dab it with ghee. Let it turn golden brown on this side as well.
6
Serve with lemon pickles, yogurt or with cucumber raitha.
