Why paneer paratha calorie numbers differ
Paneer paratha is wheat dough stuffed with crumbled paneer, onion, green chilli, coriander and spices, then shallow-fried on a tawa. The amount of paneer in the filling is the biggest swing, since some kitchens pack it thick and others stretch it thin, and full-fat paneer adds more fat than the dough does. Oil on the tawa and butter on top come next.
One extra teaspoon of ghee or oil (5 g) adds 45 kcal, 19% of the calories in 1 paneer paratha.
The numbers here are for a standard home recipe at 90 g per paneer paratha. Weigh your portion or compare it with that weight.
