Whole-Wheat Wrap With Paneer And Veg
A wholesome and protein-packed whole-wheat wrap filled with crumbled paneer, hearty lentils, and fresh vegetables, making for a nutritious and satisfying breakfast.
For 1 serving
Combine whole wheat flour, a pinch of salt (approx. 1/16 tsp), and water in a bowl. Knead into a soft, pliable dough. Cover and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
TIPResting the dough makes it easier to roll.If using dry lentils, rinse approximately 40g moong dal and pressure cook with enough water and a pinch of salt until soft (about 2-3 whistles). Ensure the cooked weight is 110g.
TIPPre-cook lentils in advance to save time.Heat cooking oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and sauté until it turns translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Add ginger-garlic paste and green chili (if using) to the pan. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Stir in the chopped bell pepper and tomato. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened but still retain a bit of crunch.
Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, and the remaining salt (approx. 1/16 tsp). Mix well and cook for 1 minute, allowing the spices to toast.
Add the crumbled paneer, cooked moong dal, and chopped spinach to the pan. Mix everything thoroughly and cook for 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.
Sprinkle garam masala and fresh coriander leaves over the filling. Give it a final mix and turn off the heat.
Divide the rested dough into one equal portion. Roll it out into a thin, even circle, approximately 6-7 inches in diameter.
Heat a tawa or flat pan over medium-high heat. Cook the rolled wrap on both sides until golden-brown spots appear and it is fully cooked.
Place the cooked wrap on a plate. Spoon the paneer-lentil-veg filling evenly down the center of the wrap. Roll it up tightly to form a complete wrap.
