Method

• Knead the dough and keep it aside for 15 minutes.
• In a bowl add the grated paneer, cheese and all the above ingredients and mix well. Taste and add chilli or salt accordingly.
• Make 12 round portion of the dough, and roll them flat with a rolling pin. Add the paneer stuffing into it and fold it in a square shape (as shown in the pictures below).
