Tips and Tricks while making paneer paratha

Don’t be too generous while stuffing the paratha so as to avoid it bursting while rolling out.
The dough for paranthas are supposed to feel tight.
While filling and sealing, it’s important to pinch off the excess dough so that there are no residual cracks left that open up while the paratha is cooking instead of puffing up.
Using fresh paneer will ensure that the paneer is soft, you can also add some chat masala for an extra kick.
You can also deep freeze half-done paranthas between butter paper to use it later, it’s good for 2-3 weeks.
Always roll the paratha out with a light hand so that the stuffing is evenly distributed.
