  • Flip the paratha, when the base is partially cooked.
  • Then cook the paratha and apply oil or desi ghee on the partly cooked part.

  • Flip again once or twice until it is cooked from both sides.
  • Press the edges of the paratha with the spoon to cook it properly from all sides.
  • It should be golden brown from both sides.
  • Now, delicious Paneer Paratha is ready to serve
