PANEER PARATHA

We usually prepare chappathi/paratha without any stuffing. This paneer stuffing is very easy and simple than other stuffings. It tastes awesome. This stuffed paratha is apt for a beginner since other stuffings might come out easily while preparing the paratha. This stuffing is dry and can easily be stuffed.
