Ingredients

For the dough
1 1/2 cups bajra (black millet) flour
a pinch of salt

To be mixed into a stuffing
1/3 cup crumbled low fat paneer (cottage cheese)
2 tbsp chopped fenugreek (methi) leaves
1 green chilli, finely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped tomatoes
salt to taste

For cooking
4 tsp low fat butter

For serving
Parsley Yoghurt Spread

Method

For the dough, mix the bajra flour, salt and enough hot water to make a soft dough.
Knead well, divide into 16 portions and roll out each portion into thin rotis.
To proceed, spread a little stuffing on one roti. Then put another roti on top and press well so that it becomes one roti. Repeat for the remaining rotis and stuffing to make 7 more stuffed rotis.
Cook each stuffed roti on a non-stick on both sides with a little low fat butter till brown spots appear.
Serve hot with parsley yoghurt spread.
