    About Schezwan Paneer Paratha

    Schezwan Paneer Paratha is a whole wheat Indian flatbread stuffed with a fusion spicy filling made with paneer, Schezwan sauce, and cilantro (fresh coriander leaves).

    The Schezwan sauce makes the paratha spicy, addictive, and worth all the calories. Serve it with a bowl of yogurt and green chutney for breakfast, lunch, snack, or dinner.

    This recipe is vegetarian and can be easily doubled or tripled.

    Ingredients

    For The Dough

    Schezwan paneer paratha dough ingredients.

    To make the dough, you will need whole wheat flour (atta), salt, and vegetable oil.

    For The Filling

    Schezwan paner paratha filling ingredients.

    You just need 3 ingredients for this spicy filling – Schezwan sauce, paneer, and cilantro (fresh coriander leaves).

    Homemade paneer is best for parathas, but you can use store-bought too.

    You can either make Schezwan Sauce at home using my easy recipe or use a store-bought one.

    How To Make Schezwan Paneer Paratha

    Make The Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, mix together 2 cups whole wheat flour, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vegetable oil. 

    Flour, salt and oil added to a bowl.

    Add water (approx ½ 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 little by little until the dough comes together.

    Water added to the bowl.

    Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes until it becomes very smooth.

    Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and keep it aside (on the counter) for 20 minutes.

    Dough divided into 6 equal parts.

    Serving Suggestions

    Schezwan Paneer Paratha can be served for breakfast, lunch, snack, or dinner with a bowl of yogurt and any chutney of your choice.

    You can also serve it with some flavorful raita recipes such as Boondi Raita, Burani Raita, Cucumber Raita, or Palak Raita.

    It can also be packed for school or office lunch boxes with yogurt.

    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 covered in foil in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Cook the parathas completely on a griddle using ghee or oil.

    Stuffed parathas are also freezer friendly. Let the cool down completely and store them in freezer-safe zip lock bags or an air-tight container with parchment paper in between each paratha. Take them out and reheat directly on tawa until nice and crisp.
