1. What is healthy paneer methi paratha made off? methi paneer paratha is made from 3/4 cup whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta), 1/2 cup finely chopped fenugreek (methi)leaves, 1/2 cup grated low-fat paneer (cottage cheese), 1/2 tsp cumin seeds (jeera), 1/2 tsp ginger-green chilli paste, 1/8 tsp turmeric powder (haldi), oil and salt.

1. Make the dough only with wheat flour and no addition of maida to have a healthy meal.
2. Low fat paneer has been used to cut down on calorie and fat intake. If you do not have any fat restriction, you can opt for regular paneer.
3. Serve it off the tava as there is no ghee or butter used for brushing after cooking. 

1. Good for bones : Whole wheat flour is rich in Phosphorus which is a major mineral which works closely with calcium to build our bones. Use it innovatively to make Wheat Dosa - a South Indian delicacy.
   
2. Carbohydrate Metabolism: Whole wheat flour is rich in Vitamin B1 which is essential for glucose metabolism. It extracts energy from our food and converts it into ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Try Paushtic Paratha.
    
3. Diabetic Friendly: Being rich in Magnesium, whole wheat flour  contributes to many health benefits and will improve insulin response by lowering insulin resistance. Excellent for controlling blood sugar levels through the presence of Zinc also. Check the recipe of Karela Thepla. 
    

1. In a deep glass bowl put 3/4 cup whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta). Whole wheat flour is excellent for diabetics as they will not shoot up your blood sugar levels as they are a low GI food.  Whole wheat flour is rich in Phosphorus which is a major mineral which works closely with calcium to build our bones. Vitamin B9 helps your body to produce and maintain new cells, especially increase red blood cells.
   
2. Add salt to taste.
   
3. Add enough water to make a soft dough. We used 1/4 cup water plus 1 tablespoon of water.
   
4. Knead into a soft dough.
   
5. Cover the dough with a wet muslin cloth and leave aside for 10 minutes.
   
6. This is what it looks like.
   
7. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions.
   

1. Heat 1 tsp oil in a non-stick pan.
   
2. Add the 1/2 tsp cumin seeds (jeera).
   
3. Add 1/2 tsp ginger-green chilli paste.
   
4. Let the seeds crackle.
   
5. Add 1/2 cup finely chopped fenugreek (methi) leaves. Methi leaves are low in calorie, powerful antioxidant and cures mouth ulcers. Fenugreek leaves help in improving glucose and insulin responses, hence good for diabetics. The levels of cholesterol also reduced with intakes of fenugreek leaves. Rich in Vitamin K which is good for bone metabolism. They are good source of iron which is important for pregnant women as well as other individuals. Iron is a part of hemoglobin in the blood. A deficiency of iron may cause anaemia and that may decrease your work ability and make you fatigue easily. See all benefits of methi leaves here. 
   
6. Add 1/8 tsp turmeric powder (haldi).
   
7. Add salt to taste.
   
8. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes.
   
9. Add 1/2 cup grated low-fat paneer (cottage cheese). Paneer contains high quality protein and calcium which aids in weight loss. Since paneer is low in carbs and high in protein it gets digested slowly and hence good for diabetes. Potassium in paneer helps to reduce the effect of high sodium, by lowering blood pressure and contraction of blood vessels, resulting in improved heart health and reduced risk of heart attack.
