Ingredients

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup water (plus more if needed)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup cooked lentils (green or brown)
• 1/2 cup tomato sauce
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup plain yogurt (for serving)
• Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

How to Make Stuffed Flatbread with Lentil Curry

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and a pinch of salt. Gradually add water and olive oil, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.
2. While the dough is resting, prepare the lentil curry. In a pan over medium heat, add the cumin seeds and toast until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Add the cooked lentils and tomato sauce to the pan. Stir in the coriander powder, turmeric, garam masala, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
4. Divide the rested dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it into a disc about 6 inches in diameter.
5. Place a generous spoonful of the lentil mixture in the center of each disc. Fold the edges over to seal the filling inside, then gently flatten it to form a stuffed flatbread.
6. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each stuffed flatbread for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Add a little oil to the pan if desired.
7. Serve warm with a dollop of yogurt and garnish with fresh cilantro if using.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your dough is soft but not sticky; adjust the water as needed.
• Allow the lentils to cool slightly before stuffing to prevent the dough from becoming soggy.
• For extra flavor, you can add minced garlic and ginger to the lentil mixture.

Easy Variations

• Substitute whole wheat flour with all-purpose flour for a lighter flatbread.
• Add chopped spinach or kale to the lentil mixture for added nutrition.
• Spice it up with chopped green chilies or red pepper flakes for heat.

What to Serve With It

• A fresh cucumber salad with lemon and herbs.
• Pickled onions for a tangy crunch.
• A side of mango chutney for a sweet contrast.
• A simple green salad to complement the meal.
