Cook Time 30 minutes mins
Course Side Dish
Cuisine Indian
- 2.5 Cups Flour
- 1/2 Cup Water
- 2 medium Potatoes boiled
- 2 medium Carrots
- 1 cup peas
- 1/2 cup firm tofu
- 1 tablespoon Garam masala
- 1 tablespoon Chilli Oil
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
Boil potatoes (whole) and set aside
Boil peas and set aside
Grate the carrots into fine shreds
Crumble the tofu into small pieces
Dough
in a large bowl, add the flour and a tablespoon of cooking oil and a teaspoon of salt and mix
next add in the water and knead until you have a firm dough ball
let the dough rest.
Filling
in a large mixing bowl, mash the potatoes and add the carrot shreds and peas
to the bowl add salt and a tablespoon of oil.
knead the mixture well to ensure the filling is soft with no hard edges to break the outer dough
the filling should be slightly moist but not wet as this will ruin the paratha, if you feel it's too wet, add flour.
The Flavours
To a hot pan, add oil, garam masala and chili powder
once the oil has infused with the spices, add in the shredded tofu and stir
once the tofu has picked up all the flavours, add in the mash mix and a pinch of salt
once all is well combined, put in a bowl and set aside
Filling the stuffed Paratha
split the dough into 2 equal parts and roll into balls
Flatten the dough and roll into a circle 1/2 cm thick
once flat, take some of the tofu filling and roll in your hands to create a ball (1.5X the size of a golf ball) and place in the middle of the flattened dough
with the surrounding dough, wrap the filling and pinch the edges and remove excess, make sure you leave enough so the filling doesn't leak out
pat it down with both hands to flatten the torn piece and smoothen it out
Dip the stuffed paratha doughball in some flour to ease in rolling out.
Place the doughball on a chopping board or flat surface with the crimpled part facing upwards and gently roll it out to flatten it (be gentle)
if you see peas or anything breaking out just cover it with flour, it's not the end of the world.
Once it has been rolled out you should end up with a large flatbread ready to fry
