4 50 minutes
Paneer Stuffed Jowar Paratha is a nutritious and flavorful flatbread made from jowar (sorghum) flour, generously filled with spiced paneer. This delicious dish is perfect for a wholesome breakfast or a light meal, offering a delightful blend of taste and health.
Basically a healthy and filling masala roti or bread recipe made with Sorghum flour & methi leaves. It can be an ideal tasty alternative to the besan or chickpea flour-based thepla and can be easily served to diabetics or any health concern people. This roti is loaded with all the spices and herbs in it and hence may not require any sides, but any spicy curry or raita should be good.
Wheat and plain flour-based bread or roti recipes are very common across India for their easy preparation and digestion reasons. Yet we look for other better and healthy alternatives as we may develop medical complications. One such easy and healthy alternative roti recipe prepared with sorghum flour is the jowar paratha or thepla known for its taste and filling properties.
I have prepared quite a few healthy rotis till date, but this has to be the most healthy thepla ever. The reason is the use of jowar flour with methi or fenugreek leaves. This makes it an ideal diabetic-friendly roti. We all know jowar is the best alternative for any medical complications, but the combination with methi leaves takes it to another level. The only downside with this roti is the taste of it. If you are used to wheat or besan flour-based thepla, you may find it dry or filling. In that case, I would recommend using some gravy-based curries which should help in eating it. In addition, these rotis can also be served as weight loss roti. It is mainly because of the high fiber and low carbohydrates in both jowar and methi leaves. Do try this roti and let me know if you would replace it for your daily roti and chapati.
