Paneer paratha |Stuffed paneer ke parathe |stuffed paratha recipes

I wanted to make this paratha since long time but somehow kept on postponing & ended  in other paneer dishes.

Last weekend both milk packets got spoilt &  I made paneer from them.
Obviously taste of home made paneer is definitely different  & nowadays I refrain from buying paneer from market as i make it at home only.

Pls chk out here for recipe of how to make paneer at home ?

Coming back to recipe Paneer Paratha recipe  is simply Indian flat bread stuffed with cottage cheese - paneer along with few spices.Sounds yummy, right?
We can enjoy this Paneer Paratha just with pickle or Raitha  or pain curd (dahi) .it is a easy lunch box menu & kids favorite too
Paneer is known as  indian cottage cheese, very much common in Indian Cusine. I love to eat paneer in any form

After tasting this parathe all i can say is "Step out of the stereotype, set aside the aloo and mooli and make paneer parathas instead! use fresh, homemade paneer to transport yourself to seventh heaven. "
