Cheese and Fenugreek Keto Paratha. Paratha , a category of popular unleavened Indian flatbread made of wholemeal wheat flour called 'atta', hails from the Northern region of India and is as diverse as the population here. Paratha is famously served in the Dhabas of North India, usually with yogurt, pickle and a tall glass of Lassi. Paratha is made in every house in India, and every house has it's own way of making it. You can either make a plain paratha and have it with a gravy, or you can have it stuffed. You can literally stuff the paratha with any stuffing of your choice - from potato to cauliflower, onion, Daikon, cheese, spinach, mixed vegetables, minced meat or even schezwan! Today, I made a Cheese and Fenugreek Keto Paratha. Dried fenugreek loves creamy cheesy flavors and this one here is a perfect amalgamation of the two. Recipe (No Egg, No Coconut Flour) . For the dough: 2 cups Almond flour 1 cup Flaxseed flour 3 tbsp Psyllium husk powder 1/2 tsp carrom seeds (optional) 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional) 1/4 tsp turmeric powder (optional) 1 green chilli, de-seeded and chopped (optional) Salt to taste Hot water Oil / ghee For the stuffing: 1 cup of any cheese of your liking, I used ricotta with parmesan. 2-3 tsp of dried fenugreek leaves. Instructions: Mix the ingredients listed under dough and roll it into small balls. Flatten the ball, spoon in cheese and sprinkle it with fenugreek leaves. Make sure not too put too much of the fenugreek leaves as they have a strong flavor. Carefully Wrap up the stuffing to form a ball. Now place the ball in between parchment paper and using a rolling pin, flatten it to form round paratha. Heat a little Ghee in a cast iron pan / tawa and cook the paratha on both sides till golden brown. Put a dollop of butter on the paratha and serve hot with pickle and yogurt.
