Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.75 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Oil
- 1 cup Firm tofu, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Green chilies, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Oil for cooking
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, mix the whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add the water to the flour, mixing to form a soft dough. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.
Step 2
In another bowl, combine crumbled tofu, nutritional yeast, chopped cilantro, green chilies, garam masala, red chili powder, turmeric, and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well-incorporated.
Step 3
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape them into balls. Likewise, divide the tofu stuffing into 8 equal parts.
Step 4
Take one dough ball, flatten it, and place a portion of the tofu filling in the center. Gather the edges of the dough to enclose the filling completely and form a ball again.
Step 5
Roll the filled dough gently into a thick disc, about 6 inches in diameter, making sure the stuffing does not come out.
Step 6
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Place the rolled paratha on the skillet.
Step 7
Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip it and cook the other side, adding more oil as needed, until fully cooked and golden brown spots appear.
Step 8
Repeat the process with remaining dough balls and stuffing.
Step 9
Serve hot with your favorite chutney or dairy-free yogurt.
