In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and water gradually to form a soft and pliable dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
While the dough rests, crumble the paneer into a separate bowl. Add salt-free seasoning mix, cumin seeds, red chili powder, coriander powder, garam masala, and chopped cilantro. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape them into balls. Flatten each ball slightly with your hands.
Take one dough ball and roll it into a small disc (about 3 inches in diameter) using a rolling pin. Place a spoonful of the paneer filling in the center of the disc.
Bring the edges of the dough together to cover the filling and pinch to seal. Carefully flatten the dough ball again and roll gently into a flat round paratha (about 6-7 inches in diameter). Sprinkle a little dry flour if necessary to prevent sticking.
Heat a non-stick tawa or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of ghee or oil to the pan.
Place the rolled paratha onto the hot tawa. Cook until brown spots appear on one side, then flip. Apply a little more ghee or oil and cook the other side until golden brown.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls and filling.
Serve the parathas hot with low sodium raita or a side salad for a complete meal.
