Fat, fibre and protein play an important role in satiety, the feeling of fullness. the mono and polyunsaturated fats in sunflower seeds have amazing heart protective effect. As the name sunflower seed roti sounds healthy, highly packed with proteins and healthy fats. It also tastes amazing
Just 1 roti will make you full for many hours, particularly if you are on OMAD programme.

This recipe makes 1 big roti or 2 small rotis
Ingredients
-
Sunflower seeds - 1/2cup (Grind the sun flower seeds , as we dont get ready made flour)
-
Salt 1/4 tsp
-
Turmeric powder - 1/4tsp
-
Paneer crumbled - 80gm
-
Finely chopped coriander: 1/4 cup
-
Ghee 4 tsp
Directions:
-
In a dry mixer jar , coarse grind hulled sunflower seeds.( Do not grind sunflower seeds to fine flour)
-
To the same mixer jar, add crumbled paneer , salt , turmeric to the sunflower seed flour and pulse grind for 2-3 times, till the paneer gets evenly crumbled and incorporated with the flour.
( If using malai paneer, you can skip adding paneer into the mixer jar. as malai paneer is very soft, its better to mix and knead it in with the hand. in the pics, for the instructions I used malai paneer, so did not use mixer jar for mixing and kneading the paneer with the sunflower flour).
If you are using store brought paneer, crumble it and add into the mixer jar for making the dough. please remember , once you add paneer into the mixer jar, use pulse mode )
-
Transfer the dough mix into a mixing bowl , add finely chopped coriander and knead well. At this stage the dough feels little sticky. Do not worry, this is how it has to be.
-
Keep it covered for 5 minutes.

-
Now, grease 2 parchment papers or plastic sheets, and place the dough between 2 Parchment papers , make a thick roti with the help of your palm or with rolling pin. Do not roll it thin, the thinner you roll , it makes difficult to transfer on to the hot tawa. So roll it thick .
-
Heat a nonstick griddle/tawa.
-
Carefully transfer the roti to the pre heated tawa , keep a lid and cook it on medium flame . Once the edges turn light brown, remove the lid.
-
Flip the roti to other side carefully , as this roti tends to break easily while turning to other side. (I noticed that, one has to be gentle with gluten free rotis)
-
Apply ghee before serving.
-
This roti tastes good with paneer butter masala, Boiled Egg burji gravy, Sarson ka saag , Palak paneer , Tomato dal , Dal tadkha.
