Healthy No-Fry Pizaa Puff Recipe -

Ingredients -

For puff -

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 cup sooji

1 tbsp oil

Salt to taste

A pinch of baking powder

Hot water to knead dough

For filling -

1 medium onion, chopped

1 medium tomato, chopped

Half small capsicum, chopped

1 cup grated paneer

Salt to taste

Oregano to taste

Red chilli flakes to taste

Black pepper powder to taste

Method -

Step 1 - First, combine atta, sooji, oil, baking powder and salt. Mix well. Remember to use warm water for kneading as it helps in making the puff crispy. Cover the dough and let it sit for around 15 minutes.

Step 2 - Mix chopped onions, tomatoes, capsicum and paneer together. Add salt, black pepper, red chilli flakes and oregano to the veggies and mix well. Keep the mixture in the refrigerator for around 15 minutes for it to set.

Step 3 - Now grease your hands and divide the dough into balls, slightly bigger in size than you take for roti. Roll the ball into a roti. Cut its edges with a knife to make it square in shape. Now, cut the square roti into two parts that are rectangular in shape.

Step 4 - Dab some water on the edges of one rectangle piece. Place the paneer filling on one half and close with other half. You can place 1/4 th cheese slice here or skip it if you want to make this snack absolutely healthy. Secure all the fours edges by pressing and marking with the tip of a fork. Repeat with the other half roti. So, one roti will make two pizza puffs.

Step 5 - Heat some olive oil in a pan and place the puffs and cover the pan with a lid so that the puffs rise and cook with the steam. Turn them when one side is cooked.
