Fresh paneer can be used for the stuffing. Fresh paneer gives a better taste as well as a softer texture. Grate or crumble the paneer well so that the stuffing mixes well with the spice.
Don’t add too much moisture to the stuffing. Wet stuffing can cause the paratha to break when rolling. If needed squeeze out the water from the onions before mixing with paneer.
I normally cook paneer paratha on a medium flame. This allows it to cook evenly from the inside and get crispy from the outside.– ghee or oil spread on both sides for better taste.
