Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Paneer (Indian cottage cheese, crumbled)
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Coriander powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Red chili powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 unit Green chili (finely chopped, optional)
- 4 tablespoons Oil or ghee
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and Greek yogurt. Gradually add water and knead into a soft and pliable dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
In another bowl, prepare the stuffing by combining crumbled paneer, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, chopped cilantro, green chili (if using), and the remaining 0.5 teaspoons of salt. Mix well.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Take one dough ball and roll it out into a small circle (about 5 inches in diameter) on a lightly floured surface.
Place 2 tablespoons of the prepared paneer filling in the center of the rolled-out dough. Fold the edges over the filling to cover it completely and form a sealed ball again.
Gently roll out the stuffed dough ball into a flatbread (about 6-7 inches in diameter), being careful not to tear it.
Heat a skillet or tawa over medium heat. Place the rolled-out flatbread onto the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles start to appear.
Flip the flatbread, brush the cooked side with oil or ghee, and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes. Flip again, brush the other side with oil or ghee, and press lightly with a spatula until golden brown spots appear.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls and paneer filling.
Serve hot, with a side of yogurt, pickle, or chutney for a complete meal.
