Paneer capsicum parantha.

4

It was raining outside when I and my hubby  both felt the urge to have something hot and filling as well. Pakoras!! no no ...something different...suddenly he got an idea of having paneer ka dish..I was bit surprised coz, he is not the one who love paneer. Later came the actual picture, he wanted paneer which should not be very spicy nor too bland, also contains few veggies and more over should not taste like trendy kadahi paneer or paneer makhanwala...hmmm time to really think......................

There I decided to make paneer paranthe...not too spicy nor too bland and do not taste like other paneer dishes in restaurants.

Process starts with making paneer first.

1/2 Ltr milk
1 Tb spoon white vinegar or juice of 1 lemon.

Boil milk, as it starts boiling add vinegar or lemon juice.stir for another minute. Milk will start breaking in small-2 pieces, separating water. In a strainer, drain the excess water. Your paneer is ready.

For parantha:
1 capsicum( finely chopped)
1/4 cup coriander leaves (finely chopped)
1/4 cup pudina(mint) leaves (finely chopped)
1 onion (finely diced)
Dough made up of your fav flour.(wheat flour or refined flour) I used wheat flour.

Heat oil in wok, add cumin seeds. Add onions, saute till turns soft n pink add capsicum, saute for  1 minute.
Add dry spices of you choice and salt. Add paneer and mix well. Remove the wok from heat. Allow the mix to cool down. Mix chopped pudina and coriander leaves. Divide the mixture in portions.

Make balls out of your dough. Roll out the ball. Fill in above mixture, close the roll  and make a ball again . Roll out with  help of pin. Cook on tawa griddle applying oil on each side.
Serve hot with curd or pickle.

PS: You can also add other veggies like peas, cabbage etc.
