Instructions
-
Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and instant oats. Gradually add water, stirring continuously until you achieve a semi-thick batter. The consistency should resemble that of dosa batter, allowing for easy spreading on the tawa. Once mixed, set the batter aside.
-
Make the Filling: Heat a wok over medium heat and add Nutralite Classic Spread. Once melted, toss in the finely chopped spinach and a pinch of salt. Sautรฉ until the spinach wilts and all moisture has evaporated. Next, incorporate the grated paneer, cumin powder, red chilli powder, and additional salt to taste, followed by the eggless mayonnaise. Stir-fry for about a minute and then remove from heat. Set the filling aside to cool slightly.
-
Cook the Cheela: Preheat a skillet or dosa tawa over medium heat. Pour a ladle full of the oats cheela batter onto the tawa and spread it into a thin circular shape. Drizzle some Nutralite Classic around the edges to enhance flavor and crispness. Cook the cheela on both sides, flipping until it turns a light golden brown and crisp.
-
Assemble the Dish: Once the cheela is cooked, transfer it to a serving platter. Spoon a generous amount of the creamy palak paneer filling onto the center of the cheela and fold it in half, creating a delightful pocket of goodness.
-
Repeat: Continue this process with the remaining batter and filling.
-
Serve: Present your Oats Cheela Stuffed with Creamy Palak Paneer hot, ideally paired with a refreshing Papaya Banana Smoothie for a nourishing breakfast experience that is high in protein and flavor.
Embrace the harmony of flavors and textures in this wholesome breakfast that not only nourishes but also delights. Enjoy the goodness of oats, spinach, and paneer all wrapped in a delightful cheela!
