- 1/2 cup peeled and grated bottle gourd lauki/dudhi
- 1/2 cup grated paneer
- 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped mint
- 1/2 tablespoon onion seed kalonji
- 1/2 tablespoon ground cumin

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine bottle gourd, paneer, cilantro, mint and spices. Stir to combine and leave for 30 minutes.
- Add flour and water (approximately 1/3 cup), a little at a time, until you have a soft and pliable dough. Cover with a damp cloth and leave to rest for 10 minutes.
- Heat a skillet/tawa. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. On a lightly floured board, roll into a 7" circle. Brush the tawa with a little ghee. Place the rolled dough on the skillet. Brush the top with ghee. Cook for 2 minutes, until browned. Flip over and cook for another 2-3 minutes until browned. Repeat until all the dough has been cooked.
Notes
Notes:
If using American whole wheat flour, you will need a little less water as the flour is softer.
