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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape each into a ball.

Step 4

Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out one dough ball into a circle about 6 inches in diameter.

Step 5

Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the paneer-spinach mixture onto the center of the rolled circle.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Roll out the stuffed dough ball again, carefully, into a flat disc about 8 inches in diameter. Repeat with the remaining dough and stuffing.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Repeat with the remaining flatbreads, adding a tiny bit more oil if needed.

Step 11

Serve hot with a side of low-fat yogurt or a simple green salad. Enjoy your heart-healthy meal!
