Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 150 grams Low-fat paneer
• 1 tablespoon Low-fat yogurt
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 small, finely chopped Green chilies
• 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Fresh coriander leaves
• 0 as needed Water
• 2 teaspoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix the whole wheat flour and salt, and gradually add water to form a smooth, pliable dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Step 2

While the dough is resting, crumble the low-fat paneer into a medium mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add low-fat yogurt, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin seeds, chopped green chilies, and fresh coriander leaves to the paneer. Mix well until combined.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.

Step 5

Take one dough ball and flatten it into a small disc using a rolling pin. Place about 2 tablespoons of the paneer filling in the center.

Step 6

Carefully bring the edges of the dough together to seal the paneer filling inside, shaping it into a ball again.

Step 7

Gently roll the filled dough ball into a flatbread of about 6 inches in diameter, taking care not to tear the dough.

Step 8

Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat. Place the rolled paratha onto the hot skillet.

Step 9

Cook one side until light brown spots appear, then flip and apply a small brush of olive oil on the cooked side.

Step 10

Flip again, applying a little oil on the second side as well. Cook until both sides are golden brown.

Step 11

Remove from heat and repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

Step 12

Serve hot Low-Fat Paneer Paratha with a side of low-fat yogurt or your favorite pickle.
