In such a situation, Chef Pankaj Bhadoria has told the way to make the perfect paneer paratha, for this he has also shared a video on Instagram. According to him, you can make parathas without getting torn by taking care of the dough and stuffing. Let us tell you the tips of Chef Pankaj.

Knead the dough like this

To ensure that the paneer paratha does not tear while rolling, you have to knead the perfect dough. First of all, take 2 cups of flour and add two pinches of salt to it and mix. Then add water as per the requirement and knead a soft dough. When the dough is ready, add one spoon of oil to it and knead until the oil is completely mixed in the dough. After this, leave the dough to set for half an hour.

Special onion recipe

First of all, finely chop the onion and add one spoon of salt to it and keep it aside for 10-15 minutes. Then squeeze the onion well and remove all its water. Actually, due to the water present in the onion, paneer parathas start tearing while rolling. If you use onion after squeezing out the water, then the parathas will not tear while rolling.
