Stuffed Paneer Parathas

Ingredients
2 cups grated paneer
1 finely chopped onion
1 chopped green chili
1 tsp red chili powder
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp dry mango powder
1 tsp cumin seeds
Salt
Butter/oil

Method
Make dough out of the whole wheat flour just as you would do for rotis
Heat oil in a wok, add the cumin seeds and let it sizzle. Add the chopped onions and chilies and sauté till the onions turn slightly brown. To this, add the grated paneer with the spice powders and stir for 2-3 minutes
Once the stuffing mixture is cooked, take off the heat to cool
Take a medium sized chapatti, add the stuffing, make a ball and roll it slightly
Cook the paratha on a pre-heated tawa, turn it and pour a tbsp of oil or butter
Spread it on the paratha and cook over low heat. Turn the paratha again and cook on a low heat till golden brown
Serve the hot paneer paratha with pickle or curd
