Ingredients

• •2 cups whole wheat flour
• •1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
• •1 cup cheese (paneer or mozzarella), grated
• •1 small onion, finely chopped
• •2 green chilies, finely chopped (optional)
• •1 tsp cumin seeds
• •1/2 tsp turmeric powder
• •1/2 tsp garam masala
• •1/2 tsp salt (to taste)
• •2 tbsp oil (for stuffing and cooking)
• •Water, as needed (for dough)
• •Extra flour, for dusting

Instructions

1. 1

   In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add water and knead to form a soft dough. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.

2. 2

   In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.

3. 3

   Add chopped onions and green chilies. Sauté until the onions turn translucent.

4. 4

   Add chopped spinach, turmeric powder, and garam masala. Cook until the spinach wilts. Remove from heat and let it cool.

5. 5

   Once cooled, mix in the grated cheese until well combined.

6. 6

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

7. 7

   Take one ball, flatten it slightly, and roll it out into a small circle. Place a spoonful of the spinach and cheese mixture in the center. Fold the edges over to seal the filling inside and roll it out gently into a paratha.

8. 8

   Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a little oil and cook the paratha until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
