Indian Vegetarian Low GI Recipe: Stuffed Chapaati

Stuffed gram of flour chapaati

Hi Guys,

How is your work from home going? I have a great time trying different types of recipes and cooking in one pot. I also try different types of flours. Today here is something interesting that I tried with Stuffed Gram Flour Chapaati.

Here I am sharing this recipe with you, which is also available as a low calorie snack. The best thing about this recipe is that it only takes 1 spoonful of oil to prepare.

Low GI Indian Vegetarian Recipe

Stuffed gram of flour chapaati

For the filling:

The filling should be prepared first so that you can fill it in freshly made hot corn flour or gram flour chapattis.

ingredients

1 onion
2 tomatoes
1-2 small bowls of peas
Spices and a teaspoon of cooking oil.

method

Boil the peas. I use frozen when out of season.

Cut the onion and tomatoes into small pieces or make a puree from them according to your wishes.

Now let's start cooking. Put a teaspoon of oil, preferably in a non-stick pan.

Note that we should not cook food in non-stick utensils that have had their coating removed in some way. This is harmful to your health as the metal underneath reacts with the food.

When the oil warms up, add the chopped onion and tomato. Add spices – turmeric, salt, cumin, and others to taste. Stir occasionally until the onions turn golden brown. The preparation is similar to the cooking method used for any other normal Indian vegetable.

Now add the cooked peas and mix well. Cook by holding the lid on the pan for the next 2 minutes so the flavor fits the peas well.

This is your prepared filling that you can set aside until we prepare the cornmeal chapattis.

For the corn flour / gram flour chapattis:

You can use either corn flour or grams of flour for this. Gram flour has a better taste and is preferred by most Indians, while corn flour makes stiffer chapattis and has a completely different taste than the former. Try both and find out what suits your taste buds. I usually make grams of flour chapattis in this recipe, but this time I wanted to experiment with a different flavor.

We need to knead the dough first. For this we will need 2-3 bowls of flour, or you can customize it to your liking.

Add water and bishop's grass (Ajwain) to the flour and knead the dough.

This is what the kneaded dough should look like. I also added chopped coriander leaves.

Hold a round ball of dough in the center of a clean cotton cloth. You can also use a polyethylene film instead. Press against the surface of the dough to create the desired shape of the chapatti.

Place this on a flat pan that has already been heated (preferably non-stick coated). Twist 2-3 times carefully, otherwise it may break.

When the chapatti is ready, put it in a plate, fill it with the pea mixture and fold it. Well, cornmeal or cornmeal chapattis that are stiff don't fold neatly; They have to break into pieces when folding. Chapattis made with grams of flour are easy to fold and look more aesthetic when served.

You can enjoy this as an evening snack or even enjoy it for breakfast. Peas have endless health benefits. Corn flour and gram flour are both health-promoting and low in calories and GI. People who use wheat flour alone as part of their daily diet will provide them with additional dietary variety and a break from wheat. Also, since it only takes 1 spoonful of oil, you know it's not high in calories. At the same time, these are also quite filling; I can't have more than 1 evening.

Enjoy and let me know how you like it.

Until next time, take care!
