Wheat Tart With Paneer Custard

"Happy Christmas - Merry Christmas" to all out there from my Boni's Healthy Twists. Here I am again with a healthy tart. My twist on the tart is that I have made it with whole wheat flour instead of the traditional white flour. For the filling I have used Paneer / Cottage cheese which is healthier than the regular cream cheese.
