Paneer stuffed Sweet Potato Paratha

Ingredients:

For dough:

• Wheat flour / Atta - 2 cups
• Sweet potato - 1 no
• Ghee - 1-2 tsp (Optional)
• Salt- to taste
• Warm Water - if required 

For Stuffing:

• Paneer, crumbled / grated - 1 cup (Home made Paneer)
• Roasted Cumin seed powder - 1/2 tsp
• Coriander leaves, chopped - 2 tbsp 
• Kasoori Methi, crushed - 1 tsp
• Green chillies, finely chopped - 2-3 nos (can be avoided if making for kids)
• Salt - to taste

Other Ingredients:

• Wheat / Rice flour - for dusting
• Ghee / Oil - for toasting

Method:

1. Wash and cook the sweet potato in pressure cooker; can be cooked in a vessel placed inside the cooker
   
2. Once it gets cooked, peel off the skin and mash it well 
   
3. In a wide bowl, add the wheat flour, required salt, ghee (if using) and mix well
4. To this add the mashed sweet potato and knead well to form a smooth soft dough. Sprinkle water only if necessary; at times moisture in the sweet potato will be enough for kneading. Keep it aside for atleast 30 mins
   
   
   
   
5. For the stuffing, add all the ingredients in the above stuffing list in a bowl and mix well
   
6. Divide the dough into equal lemon sized balls, dust them with flour, flatten them to a circle
7. Keep a spoonful of stuffing in the center of the circle and bring the sides of the circle towards center as shown below. This way we will get square parathas; we can also do in a regular way for circular ones
   
   
   
   
8. Roll it to form a thin paratha
   
9. Heat the tawa, place the parathas and cook till bubbles started to appear on the surface
   
10. Turn over and cook the other side; spread few drops of ghee over it
11. Once it's cooked, spread a little ghee / oil on the other side of the paratha and transfer to plate or place it in hot box till you serve
    
12. These parathas are soft and can be had with curd or any gravy
