Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Low-fat paneer (crumbled)
- 1 cup Fresh spinach (finely chopped)
- 0.5 cup Plain low-fat yogurt
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, yogurt, and water. Knead into a soft, smooth dough, adding more water if necessary. Cover and rest the dough for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the stuffing. In a medium bowl, mix crumbled low-fat paneer, chopped spinach, garlic, ground cumin, garam masala, turmeric, cilantro, and optional salt. Ensure the mixture is well combined.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape each into a ball.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out one dough ball into a circle about 6 inches in diameter.
Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the paneer-spinach mixture onto the center of the rolled circle.
Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to enclose it completely, pinching the seams closed. Flatten gently with your hands to redistribute the filling evenly.
Roll out the stuffed dough ball again, carefully, into a flat disc about 8 inches in diameter. Repeat with the remaining dough and stuffing.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of olive oil using a brush or kitchen towel.
Place one rolled flatbread on the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula. The flatbread should have golden-brown spots when done.
Repeat with the remaining flatbreads, adding a tiny bit more oil if needed.
Serve hot with a side of low-fat yogurt or a simple green salad. Enjoy your heart-healthy meal!
