• 100 g Jeera
• 100 g Red Chili Powder

Instructions

1. 1. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and add cumin seeds. Once they crackle, add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
2. 2. Add the green chili and chopped tomato to the pan. Cook until the tomato becomes soft and mushy, about 4-5 minutes.
3. 3. Stir in turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and garam masala, cooking for 1 minute to release the spices' aroma.
4. 4. Add the crumbled paneer and mix well to coat it evenly with the spice mixture. Season with salt and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped coriander leaves.
5. 5. Warm the parathas on a tawa or flat griddle until they are pliable and slightly crispy, about 1-2 minutes on each side.
6. 6. Spread a thin layer of plain yogurt on each paratha and place a generous amount of the paneer filling in the center.
7. 7. Fold the parathas into pockets, sealing the edges lightly. Optionally, secure them with toothpicks to hold the shape.
8. 8. Serve warm with a side of mint chutney or ketchup for dipping.
