Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup Besan (chickpea flour)
• 1 medium-sized head Cauliflower
• 1 cup Paneer
• 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
• 0.75 cup Water
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 finely chopped Green chili
• 1 inch piece, grated Ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh coriander leaves
• 4 tablespoons Ghee or vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the dough: in a large bowl, mix the whole wheat flour and besan. Gradually add water and Greek yogurt, kneading until you get a soft but firm dough. Cover and let it rest for about 20 minutes.

Step 2

While the dough is resting, prepare the filling: finely grate the cauliflower and paneer. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of ghee or oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Stir in the green chili and ginger, sauté for a minute.

Step 4

Add the grated cauliflower to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes until slightly tender.

Step 5

Mix in turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, coriander powder, and salt. Combine well and remove from heat. Let this mixture cool slightly.

Step 6

Once cooled, add grated paneer and chopped coriander leaves to the cauliflower mixture. Mix thoroughly to form your high-protein paratha filling.

Step 7

Divide the dough into equal portions, shaping each portion into a ball. Roll out each ball into a small circle.

Step 8

Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of the rolled dough. Pinch the edges together to encase the filling completely. Flatten and gently roll out to form a paratha, ensuring the filling doesn't spill out.

Step 9

Heat a tawa or skillet over medium-high heat. Place the rolled paratha on the hot surface, and cook for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown spots appear.

Step 10

Flip the paratha and apply some ghee or oil on top. Press gently with a spatula and cook until the other side is golden and cooked through.

Step 11

Repeat the process with the rest of the dough and filling. Serve warm with yogurt or your favorite pickle.
