How Paneer Paratha fits in your diet
A 1 medium paratha (~120 g) of paneer paratha contributes about 18% of a 2,000-kcal daily target and roughly 19% of an average adult's 50 g daily protein floor. Typically made with whole wheat flour, paneer, ghee, spices, coriander.
Whole-wheat paratha stuffed with crumbled paneer and spices. For a balanced Indian plate, pair it with a protein source (dal, paneer, eggs or chicken), a sabzi and a small portion of curd or salad. Restaurant or street-style versions can run 20–40% higher in calories because of extra oil, ghee or cream — adjust portion size accordingly.
