Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Psyllium husk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 cup Paneer, grated
• 2 teaspoons Green chilies, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 3 tablespoons Butter or ghee for cooking

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, psyllium husk, and salt. Mix well.

Step 2

Gradually add water to the flour mixture and knead it into a smooth dough. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil while kneading for a softer dough.

Step 3

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Step 4

In another bowl, prepare the filling by mixing grated paneer, green chilies, coriander leaves, cumin seeds, and red chili powder. Add a pinch of salt to taste.

Step 5

Divide the dough into equal portions (about 6-8 balls). Roll each dough ball out into small circles using a rolling pin, dusting with a little gluten-free flour if needed.

Step 6

Place a tablespoon of paneer filling in the center of one rolled-out dough circle. Bring the edges together to seal the filling and form a ball again.

Step 7

Gently flatten and roll out the filled ball into a thicker flatbread, being careful not to let the filling spill out.

Step 8

Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat. Once hot, place the rolled paratha on the skillet.

Step 9

Cook the paratha for about 1-2 minutes on one side, then flip it. Apply a little butter or ghee and cook until golden brown spots appear on both sides.

Step 10

Repeat the process for the remaining dough and filling.

Step 11

Serve the gluten-free paneer parathas hot with yogurt or chutney.
