Instructions
- Make a dough of 1.5 cups whole wheat flour with a pinch of salt and water. Smear a little oil and keep it covered for 30 mins.
- Grate 1.5 cups cabbage and 1 cup paneer. Keep aside. Finely chop 2 onions, 2 green chillies and grate 1 inch ginger.
- In a pan, heat 3 tbsps groundnut oil and sizzle 1 tsp cumin seeds and 1/4 tsp asafoetida. Mix in the finely chopped onions, ginger and green chillies. Let it cook for 2 mins or until the onions turn soft. Add in grated cabbage and let it cook for 3-4 mins until it turns tender. Mix in the paneer and both normal and black salt to taste. Mix in 1 tbsp fresh mint leaves.
- Add in the dry spices - 1 tsp red chilli powder, 1.5 tsp coriander powder, 1 tsp roasted cumin powder, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, 1/4 tsp garam masala and 1 tsp amchur powder. Mix everything well and then tip in 1/4 cup coriander leaves. Let it all cook on low flame for 7-8 mins or until the moisture is evaporated and it releases little oil. Switch off the flame and let the mix cool down to room temperature.
- Now divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Roll one part into a small circle. Brush a little ghee and place the cooked cabbage and paneer mixture in between and fold the edges bringing it together into a ball shape. Flatten it by hand and roll it in a circle of 6-7” diameter using hands or rolling pin.
- Heat griddle and roast it from both sides using oil or ghee (I used ghee). Repeat with all.
- Serve hot with accompaniments. Enjoy!!!
