Cooking Steps
Step 1: To begin making the Whole Wheat Spinach Paneer Lifafa Paratha Recipe, in a mixing bowl add the whole wheat flour, salt, 1 tablespoon melted ghee and mix
Step 2: Next add water little by little and start kneading the dough
Step 3: If you are looking for softer texture add only milk to knead the dough and no water
Step 4: Knead till you get soft, smooth dough
Step 5: Cover and let the paratha dough rest for 30 minutes
Step 6: While the lifafa paratha dough is resting we can make the stuffing
Step 7: Heat oil in a pan
Step 8: To hot oil add cumin seeds and wait till they turn slight brown
Step 9: Add onions and green chilies and sauté till onions turn soft
Step 10: Add finely chopped spinach and cook until spinach looses all it’s moisture
Step 11: Add salt to taste
Step 12: Once spinach is completely dry, turn off heat and keep it aside to cool down
Step 13: Add roasted cumin powder, chaat masala to grated paneer
Step 14: Add cooked spinach mix and mix them all together
Step 15: This paratha stuffing mixture should be dry
Step 16: If you find any liquid in it, squeeze it out
Step 17: Divide them into equal sized balls
Step 18: In a small bowl, combine the corn flour along with water to make a thick paste
Step 19: This will be used for sealing the edges
Step 20: Knead the paratha dough once more and divide them into equal sized balls (lemon sized)
Step 21: Roll it thin about 10 inch
Step 22: Place it on hot griddle/tawa and cook for 10 seconds on each sides, without oil
Step 23: Dont over cook it
Step 24: Take it out of tawa
Step 25: Repeat this for rest of the dough
Step 26: Now place half cooked rotis on a flat surface
Step 27: Place a small portion of spinach paneer stuffing in the center
Step 28: Spread the stuffing all over leaving out the edges
Step 29: Apply corn flour paste on the edges of the roti
Step 30: Fold the 2 opposite corners of the roti over the stuffing
Step 31: Now fold the remaining 2 edges sealing the filling well
Step 32: This will look like a folded envelope
Step 33: Place the stuffed lifafa spinach paneer paratha over hot tawa, drizzle oil or ghee and cook on both sides until they turn brown on both sides
Step 34: Serve the Whole Wheat Spinach Paneer Lifafa Paratha immediately with some yogurt and pickle for breakfast or even a weeknight dinner
