🛒 Ingredients

✓ 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
✓ 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
✓ 1/2 tsp salt
✓ 1/4 tsp turmeric
✓ 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
✓ 3/4 cup warm water
✓ 1.5 tbsp ghee (divided)
✓ Cooking spray
✓ 2 tbsp oil for dough
✓ 180g low-fat paneer, crumbled
✓ 50g firm tofu, crumbled
✓ 2 cups fresh spinach (blanched, squeezed dry)
✓ 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
✓ 1 tbsp cashew paste
✓ 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
✓ 1/2 tsp green chilli, minced
✓ 1/4 tsp garam masala
✓ Salt and black pepper to taste

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Make the Dough: Mix whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, turmeric, and cumin seeds. Add 2 tbsp oil and gradually incorporate warm water, kneading for 6–8 minutes until smooth and soft. Cover with damp cloth for 10 minutes.

2. Prepare the Filling: Blanch spinach in boiling salted water for 2 minutes, drain, squeeze dry, and chop finely. In a bowl, combine spinach, crumbled paneer, crumbled tofu, Greek yogurt, and cashew paste. Stir in ginger-garlic paste, green chilli, garam masala, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined; don't overmix.

3. Divide and Shape: Divide dough into 4 equal balls. On a floured surface, roll one ball into a 5-inch circle. Spoon 3 tbsp filling into the center, fold edges over, seal gently, and flatten into a 7-inch circle, dusting with flour as needed.

4. Shape All Parathas: Repeat with remaining dough balls and filling. Stack finished parathas between parchment sheets to prevent sticking. Work quickly so dough doesn't dry out.

5. Heat the Griddle: Place a cast-iron or non-stick tawa (griddle) over medium-high heat for 2 minutes until evenly hot. Lightly spray with cooking spray.

6. Cook First Side: Lay one paratha flat on the griddle. Cook for 2–3 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula, until light golden spots appear on the base.

7. Flip and Finish: Flip the paratha. Drizzle 1/2 tsp ghee around the edges, then flip again. Drizzle another 1/2 tsp ghee on the cooked side and flip back. Cook until golden and crispy, about 1–2 minutes per side. Total ghee per paratha: ~1 tsp.

8. Rest and Serve: Transfer to a warm plate. Repeat with remaining parathas. Serve hot with Greek yogurt (instead of sour cream), fresh lemon wedges, and pickled onions.
