Ingredients

  • 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
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon red chili pepper cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups chappati flour Indian whole wheat flour
  • 2-3 tablespoons ghee

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.
