We are always down for a quicker, more convenient, but nutrient-dense meal/snack without the hassle of preparing. Aashirvaad brought a range of Ready to Cook parathas- aloo and paneer.

For our Aashirvaad Ready To Cook Paneer Paratha review, we ordered a pack online, prepared it as instructed, and here’s how it went. 

Does this sort breakfast and lunch box woes?

Here’s all you need to know. 

Taste, texture, and overall convenience were the parameters we set when reviewing Aashirvaad Instant Paneer Paratha. 

1. Taste

Did the paneer taste fresh? Was the stuffing seasoned well? How did the paratha taste, were there any synthetic flavors observed?

Any undesirable aftertaste?

2. Texture

Was the paneer soft and creamy or was the stuffing hard to chew? What about the paratha, light and flaky or dense and dry? Is the proportion of the paratha and stuffing apt?

3. Other Parameters

Here we gauged the convenience, the price point, and scanned the nutrition labels. 

Price + Packaging

These come in a resealable pouch. There were four parathas inside, each separated with a layer of paper. One paratha weighs 100 grams, the total quantity was 400 grams with a shelf life of 24 months. 

Main Ingredients

Wheat flour (atta), Paneer (35.6%), water, vegetable (onion, green chilli, ginger), ghee, refined corn oil, mixed spices (coriander leaves (2.5%), cumin, and red chilli), dehydrated potatoes, iodised salt, sugar, wheat gluten and emulsifier (mono and di-glycerides of fatty acids from palm oil)

Flavoring agents used include wheat and milk.

How we made it 

Following the instructions mentioned on the pack, we placed one on a pre-heated non-stick pan. Without adding any additional oil/ghee for cooking, we let the paratha cook on a medium heat for two minutes and applied gentle pressure. Both sides were cooked until the surface turned golden brown. 

To enhance taste, you can serve with butter or ghee once served. 

We served it with salted butter.

Taste + Texture

The texture of the paratha was way better than that of the stuffing. The paratha was light, crisp, and flaky. It didn’t feel doughy and the thickness was ideal. On the other hand, the stuffing was barely there. Thumbs down for the stuffing to paratha ratio, it was disappointing.

As for the taste, everything had a fresh taste, there were synthetic flavors or any undesirable aftertaste either. The seasoning was in place (salt and spices) but owing to the low quantity, it didn’t fare well in our review.

One 100-gram paratha offers 323 Kcal with 27.5 grams of carbohydrates, 18.9 grams of fat, and 10.6 grams of protein. These values are fairly decent. 

We are scoring it low on taste not because the masala was not tasty enough, but because it was so less that the whole point of it being a stuffed paratha was lost. Plus whatever little the stuffing was, it wasn’t strikingly remarkable and the texture was slightly dry as well.

Fin! That’s Mishry’s verdict on Aashirvaad Paneer Paratha. While the flavor and texture of the paratha were a hit, the paratha to filling ratio was a miss.
