Equipment

  • 1 non stick pan

Ingredients
  

  • 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

Instructions
 

  • 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

final step

  • in a non stick pan, heat some oil and fry on both sides until crispy!
  • Serve and enjoy!
