Steps

1 hour

1

To begin, prepare the dough. In a large bowl, mix together whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, ginger-garlic paste, curd, vegetable oil, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix well. Knead it into a soft dough using water. Cover and leave aside to rest for at least half an hour.
2

In the meantime, prepare the topping. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a pan.
3

Add in the onions and saute for a few minutes. Add in the green chilies and saute until the onions are translucent.
4

Add the ginger-garlic paste and cook for a minute or two.
5

Now add in the finely chopped tomatoes. Mix. Add the salt and saute until the tomatoes are cooked.
6

Add in the tomato puree and tomato sauce. Mix well.
7

Now add in the dry masalas - Kashmiri red chili powder, cumin powder (jeera), and coriander powder (dhania). Mix.
8

When oil begins to appear on the sides, add the vinegar and mix.
9

Finally add in the capsicum, paneer, and coriander leaves. Mix until the paneer is well coated. Cook for a minute or two. Remove to a bowl and keep aside.
10

Once the dough is well rested, divide it into two equal portions. Roll out the dough to 3mm thickness. Using a cookie cutter, cut into round bite-sized pieces.
11

Heat a tawa or a griddle. Grease it lightly with oil so that the bread does not stick. Do not use too much oil.
12

On medium heat, place the pieces on the tawa. Sprinkle some water avoiding the pieces and immediately cover with a lid.
13

Reduce the heat to a minimum and cook for a minute or two until the bread pieces are well risen.
14

Turn them over, sprinkle some water again and cover with a lid. Cook for another minute or two. Remove and keep aside.
15

To assemble the bites, arrange the bread pieces. Generously spread the topping. And top it with the mozzarella cheese.
16

Return the pieces to the tawa. Cover with a lid and cook on medium to low heat until the cheese melts.

The Spicy Panner Naanza Bites are ready to serve. Enjoy them plain or with a dip of your choice.
