Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 1 small cucumber, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • Extra flour for dusting

How to Make Soft Indian Flatbreads with Spicy Filling

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix well.
  2. Add the yogurt and olive oil to the flour mixture. Knead until a smooth dough forms, about 5-7 minutes. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour as needed.
  3. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a bowl, mix together the grated cheddar cheese, diced cucumber, chopped cilantro, cumin powder, red chili powder, black pepper, and salt. Stir until combined.
  5. Divide the rested dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten slightly.
  6. On a floured surface, roll out each dough ball into a circle about 6 inches in diameter.
  7. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook each flatbread for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden and puffed, adding a little oil if desired.
  8. Once cooked, remove the flatbreads from the skillet and place a generous spoonful of the creamy filling in the center. Fold the flatbread over to enclose the filling.
  9. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure the dough is well-kneaded for a soft texture.
  • Allow the flatbreads to rest; this makes them easier to roll out.
  • Experiment with the filling—add cooked chicken, sautéed vegetables, or different herbs for variety.

Easy Variations

  • Swap the cheddar cheese for feta for a tangy twist.
  • Add chopped green chilies for extra heat.
  • Use whole wheat flour for a healthier option.

What to Serve With It

  • A side of tangy yogurt sauce or raita.
  • Fresh salad with a squeeze of lemon.
  • Spicy pickles for an added kick.
  • A bowl of lentil soup for a complete meal.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm in a skillet over low heat until heated through.
