How to Make Protein – Palak Patta Chaat

/ Fitpiq Team, Health Tips, Healthy Recipes, Weight Loss Recipes

Protein – Palak Patta Chaat 😍🌿

High Protein | Palak Loaded | Crispy & Chatpata

Ingredients

For Palak Papri/Thepla:

  • ½ cup besan
  • ½ cup whole wheat flour + extra as needed
  • 2 cups finely chopped palak
  • 1–2 tbsp hung curd
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • ¾ tsp ajwain, lightly crushed
  • ½ tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • ½ tsp garam masala
  • ½ tsp chaat masala
  • ½ tsp black salt
  • ½ tsp regular salt, or to taste

For the Chaat:

  • 150 g thick hung curd
  • ¼ tsp cumin powder
  • ¼ tsp chaat masala
  • A pinch of black salt
  • Sweetener, optional
  • Mint chutney
  • Coriander chutney
  • Pomegranate seeds
  • Chaat masala, for finishing

Method

  1. Add besan, whole wheat flour, finely chopped palak, hung curd, oil, salt and all the spices to a mixing bowl. Mix well, rubbing the mixture together with your hands.
  2. Let the mixture rest for 10–15 minutes. The palak will release moisture and naturally hydrate the dough.
  3. After resting, add whole wheat flour little by little and knead into a firm, workable dough. Avoid adding too much flour at once.
  4. Divide the dough into small portions and roll each portion as thin as possible. Use a little dry flour or oil to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook on a hot tawa until crisp and golden. For a papri-style version, cut into small pieces and air-fry until completely crisp.
  6. Whisk the hung curd with cumin powder, chaat masala, black salt and optional sweetener until smooth.
  7. Arrange the crispy palak papris on a plate and generously top with 150 g hung curd.
  8. Drizzle with mint and coriander chutney, add plenty of pomegranate seeds and finish with chaat masala. Serve immediately for the best crunch. 😍

Quick Tips 💡

  • Roll the papris thin for maximum crispiness.
  • Don’t add too much flour initially—the palak releases water while resting.
  • For a lighter version, air-fry instead of shallow-frying.
  • Use thick hung curd so the chaat doesn’t become watery.
  • Add chutneys just before serving to keep the papris crisp.
  • For extra protein, you can increase the quantity of hung curd.

Advance Prep 🥣

1–2 days ahead:

  • Prepare and refrigerate the palak dough in an airtight container.
  • Make mint and coriander chutneys and refrigerate.
  • Hang the curd and store it in the refrigerator.

On the day:

  • Roll and cook/air-fry the papris in advance.
  • Let them cool completely and store in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
  • Whisk the curd just before assembling.
  • Keep pomegranate seeds washed and ready in the refrigerator.

Best assembly tip: Keep the papri, curd, chutneys and toppings separate until you’re ready to eat. Assemble fresh for a crispy, chatpata chaat! 🌿✨

/ Breakfast Recipes, Health Tips, Healthy Breakfast Recipes, Healthy non vegetarian Recipes, Healthy Recipes, Weight Loss Recipes

🍋 Healthy Lemon Pepper Egg Stir-Fry

This Healthy Lemon Pepper Egg Stir-Fry is a quick and delicious way to enjoy eggs with a tangy, peppery sauce. Instead of deep-frying the eggs, a simple omelette is prepared, cut into bite-sized pieces, and tossed in a light garlic-chilli sauce. It makes a great high-protein breakfast, snack, or quick dinner.

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • Salt, to taste
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • ½ tsp finely chopped ginger
  • ½–1 green chilli, chopped
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp tomato or chilli sauce
  • ½ tsp corn flour
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1–2 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • ½ tsp lemon zest, optional
  • Spring onion or coriander for garnish

Method

Whisk the eggs with a little salt and black pepper. Heat a non-stick pan with a few drops of oil and prepare a thin omelette. Once cooked, remove it from the pan, cut it into small bite-sized pieces, and keep aside.

In the same pan, add the remaining oil and sauté garlic, ginger, and green chilli for a few seconds until fragrant. Add soy sauce and chilli or tomato sauce and mix well.

In a small bowl, mix corn flour with water to make a smooth slurry. Pour it into the pan while stirring continuously. Cook for a minute until the sauce becomes lightly thick.

Season with salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Add lemon juice and lemon zest for a fresh, tangy flavour. Finally, add the omelette pieces and gently toss until they are well coated with the sauce.

Garnish with spring onion or coriander and serve hot.

💡 Healthy Tip

Use minimal oil, choose low-sodium sauces, and increase the garlic, ginger, pepper, and lemon for maximum flavour without needing extra sauce or oil.
