If you have been wanting to eat more veggies & protein for breakfast, this delicious beetroot-paneer paratha can do just that for you without losing the comfort factor. The sweetness and watery nature of the beetroot complement the creaminess of the paneer, resulting in a delicious, colourful & visually appealing filling. A dough made with Aashirvaad Shudh Chakki Atta will create soft, pliable & easy-to-handle parathas that are generously filled.
These types of parathas work great as a hearty but familiar breakfast choice on days when you want something hearty but still feel like you are eating something familiar. With their vibrancy and high fibre content, beets add colour to your meal, and because they contain so much fluid, they make it fluffy and provide a wonderful texture. The proteins from adding paneer to your breakfast are fantastic because they keep your body feeling full throughout the day, while the whole-grain flour used to make the dough provides an awesome foundation for your meal. These parathas are crisp on the outside, fluffy and soft on the inside, and slightly spicy. You can also enjoy these in a variety of different ways, leisurely bunched, post-workout, and on days that you want to make your average breakfast special but don't want to complicate your food prep routine.
Add Aashirvaad Shudh Chakki Atta, salt, and oil to a bowl, then pour in enough water to knead the mixture into a soft, smooth dough. Cover and keep aside while you prepare the stuffing.

Shape the parathas
Divide the dough into equal-sized balls, then flatten each ball and place a portion of stuffing in the centre. Bring all four sides of the dough together to seal, then roll the stuffed ball into a medium-thick paratha using dry atta, if necessary.

Cook the beetroot paneer parathas
Heat a tawa on medium heat. Place the rolled paratha onto the hot tawa until it becomes firm enough to turn over. Flip over, apply ghee, and allow the other side to brown evenly (to light brown spots) before flipping again to ensure it's completely cooked.
