Like most Indian kitchens, I almost always have some whole wheat flour dough in my refrigerator. Making this paratha is then just a matter of a few minutes. The Schezwan sauce makes the paratha **spicy, addictive, and worth every calorie. **Serve it with a bowl of yogurt and green chutney for breakfast, lunch, snack, or dinner. ## Ingredients ### For The Dough - **Whole-wheat flour (gehun ka atta)** - **Salt** - **Oil** ### For The Filling - **Schezwan sauce** - You can make [Schezwan sauce](https://www.whiskaffair.com/homemade-schezwan-sauce-recipe/) at home with my easy recipe or use store-bought. - **Paneer** - Homemade paneer is best for parathas, but you can use store-bought too. - **Cilantro (fresh coriander leaves)** ## How To Make Schezwan Paneer Paratha ### Make The Dough **Step 1:** In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups whole-wheat flour, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp oil.  ![Flour, salt and oil added to a bowl.](https://www.whiskaffair.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Schezwan-Paneer-Paratha-Step-1-1200x800.jpg) **Step 2:** Add water (approx. 1/2 cup), little by little, and knead to make a soft dough. The dough should be slightly tighter than the roti dough. The exact amount of water required to knead the dough depends on the quality of the flour. The best way is to keep adding a little at a time until the dough comes together. ![Water added to the bowl.](https://www.whiskaffair.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Schezwan-Paneer-Paratha-Step-2-1200x800.jpg) **Step 3:** Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes until it becomes very smooth. ![Ready dough.](https://www.whiskaffair.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Schezwan-Paneer-Paratha-Step-3-1200x800.jpg) **Step 4**: Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and keep it aside (on the counter) for 20 minutes. ![Dough covered with kitchen cloth.](https://www.whiskaffair.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Schezwan-Paneer-Paratha-Step-4-1200x800.jpg) ### Make The Paratha **Step 5:** Divide the dough into 6 equal-sized balls. ![Dough divided into 6 equal parts.](https://www.whiskaffair.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Schezwan-Paneer-Paratha-Step-5-1200x800.jpg) **Step 6:** Take one dough ball and roll it to make a round.

Keep pressing using the back of a flat ladle, especially at the corners. Serve hot. Make all the parathas in the same manner. ![](https://www.whiskaffair.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/idea.png) Wipe the griddle with paper towels after making 2-3 parathas to remove any burnt oil or flour. ![Ready Schezwan paneer paratha.](https://www.whiskaffair.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Schezwan-Paneer-Paratha-Step-15-1200x800.jpg) ## Storage Suggestions Stuffed Parathas taste the best when served right out of the griddle - hot & flaky. Leftover parathas can be cooled down completely and stored in the fridge for **2-3 days,** covered in foil. Reheat in a pan until hot and crisp. You can also **half-cook** the parathas and store them in foil in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. When ready to serve, cook the parathas on a griddle with ghee or oil until completely cooked, then serve. Stuffed parathas are also **freezer-friendly.** Let them cool completely, then store them in freezer-safe Ziploc bags or in an airtight container, with parchment paper between each paratha. Take them out and reheat them directly on the tawa until they are nice and crisp. ## Other Indian Bread Recipes We Recommend [![Make restaurant-style Tandoori Roti at home using my easy recipe.
