Instructions

1. 1. In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, chopped methi leaves, 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, 1/4 tsp red chili powder, salt, and yogurt. Gradually add water and knead into a soft dough. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.
2. 2. In another bowl, marinate the paneer cubes with 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, 1/2 tsp red chili powder, 1 tsp coriander powder, 1/2 tsp garam masala, and 1/2 tsp salt. Let the paneer rest for 10 minutes.
3. 3. Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a thin, round thepla using a rolling pin and some dry flour to prevent sticking.

5. 5. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add the marinated paneer cubes and cook on medium heat, turning occasionally, until golden and slightly crisp on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
6. 6. Serve the methi theplas warm alongside the spiced tawa paneer for a wholesome and delicious breakfast.
