How to make high-protein green wrap?
High-protein Green Wrap
Ingredients
Method
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the spinach for 3–4 minutes on high heat.
- Immediately transfer the spinach to a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process.
- This step helps retain the bright green colour of the spinach.
- Blend the spinach into a smooth puree and keep it aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt.
- Add the spinach puree and knead into a soft dough.
- Cover the dough and let it rest for 30–40 minutes.
- Divide the dough into two equal portions.
- Roll one portion into a ball and flatten it into a circle (it doesn’t need to be perfectly shaped).
- Cook the paratha on a hot griddle over medium heat.
- When brown spots appear on one side, flip it.
- Brush oil on the cooked side, flip again once brown spots appear on the other side.
- Apply a little oil on top and cook for another minute.
- Flip once more and cook until both sides are evenly roasted.
- Repeat from step 5 with the remaining portion.
- Lightly score the paneer on both sides by making shallow cuts.
- Sprinkle salt and red chilli powder evenly over the paneer.
- Rub oil on all sides and allow it to marinate for about 30 minutes.
- Grill the paneer on a hot griddle until golden brown spots appear.
- Turn and grill all sides evenly.
- Cut the grilled paneer into four equal pieces and set aside.
- Heat oil in a pan.
- Add sliced capsicum and onion and sauté on high heat for 3–4 minutes.
- Add lettuce, salt, and black pepper.
- Toss everything together and sauté for another minute.
- Remove from the heat and keep aside.
- Place a paratha on a flat surface.
- Spread a labneh ball evenly over the paratha.
- Arrange grilled paneer pieces and sautéed salad in the center.
- Fold and roll the paratha tightly to form a wrap.
- Repeat the same process with the second paratha.
Notes
- While the dough rests, prepare the paneer for marination and use the marination time to sauté the salad.
- Blanching spinach helps preserve its vibrant green colour.
- Resting the dough makes the paratha softer and easier to roll.
- If labneh ball is not available, Greek yogurt or hung curd works well as a substitute.
- To make it vegan, replace paneer with grilled tofu and use vegan yogurt spread.
