Instructions
- In a bowl, add lukewarm water and a pinch of sugar. Now add in the yeast. Give this stir and let this mix sit for 3-4 minutes. The yeast will activate and you will see tiny bubbles.
- Add in the flour, sugar and salt. Use your hand to mix. Gradually add the milk and knead the dough into a soft pliable dough ball.
- Add the butter, if the butter is at room temperature, it will incorporate into the dough easily. Add in methi paratha masala and knead further. The kneading will take around 15 minutes.
- Rub some butter or oil inside a bowl and place the kneaded dough ball in. Make sure that the bowl is bigger in size as the dough will get double in size. Cover and keep this in a warm place. The dough will take around an hour to get double in size. Meanwhile, you can prepare the paneer stuffing.
- In a pan add the oil. As the oil heats up add in the garlic and onions. Make sure to keep the heat on medium. ass the onions soften add in the chopped tomatoes. Cook for 2-3 minutes and add in the salt and red chilli powder. Stir at regular intervals during the cooking process. Now add in the chopped capsicum and cook for 2 minutes. Turn off the flame and add in the tomato ketchup, mayonnaise , paneer and methi paratha masala. Your stuffing for the parcels is ready. Bring it to room temperature before using it.
- Once the dough rises in size, deflate it using your wrist. Give it a brief kneading and divide the dough into eight equal size portions. https://amzn.to/3HbtVOr Use a bench scraper to divide the dough. Roll out each piece into a ball with hands. Let these dough balls rest on the kitchen counter for 10 - 15 minutes. Use a rolling pin to roll out each ball into a disc. Use a light dusting of dry flour for rolling out.
- Fold three sides of the disc to make a triangle. Refer to the video for better understanding. Place the paneer stuffing in the centre and lift the sides of the triangle to make the parcel.
- Slightly wet your finger to seal the parcel. Shape the rest of the parcels in the same way. Place all the parcels on a baking tray lined with a parchment paper. Cover the tray and let it rest for 20 minutes before baking. Preheat the oven at 180*C
- Brush the top of the shaped parcels with some egg wash or with milkSprinkle some sesame seeds on the top. Bake for 35 minutes. Rotate the tray in the middle of the baking time, if your oven has a hot spot. Once the paneer parcels are baked brush them with melted butter. And enjoy!
