Tofu Methi Paratha Recipe

Step 1: To begin making the Tofu Methi Paratha Recipe, we will first make the dough for the parathas

Step 2: In a large bowl add whole wheat flour and some salt

Step 3: Add water a little at a time and knead to make soft, pliable dough

Step 4: Knead dough for a couple of minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic

Step 5: Use the fold press and knead motion to make the dough smooth

Step 6: Next we will add a teaspoon of oil to coat the dough and knead little more

Step 7: You want a dough that will be soft smooth and not sticky

Step 8: Next we will divide the dough into 6 equal portions and keep aside

Step 9: While the dough is resting, lets prepare the filling for the parathas

Step 10: In a large bowl; add tofu, onion, chopped methi leaves, green chillies, cumin powder, and salt

Step 11: Combine all the ingredients well

Step 12: Divide the filling into 6 equal portions

Step 13: This process of dividing and keeping the portions of dough and filling ready, helps you gauge the number of parathas you can make and if you need more or less of the filling

Step 14: Take a paratha dough portion dust it in flour and flatten it on the rolling board by pressing it down

Step 15: Roll the dough out into approximately 3 inch diameter circles dusting with flour in between to prevent the dough from sticking to the surface

Step 16: Place this rolled dough to the side

Step 17: Take another dough portion, dust it with flour again and roll into approximately 3 inch diameter circle

Step 18: Now place a portion of the tofu methi paratha filling onto the circle and spread it evenly around

Step 19: Next, take the other rolled portion of the dough and place it over the filling

Step 20: Press and fold the edges so that the filling does not come out while cooking the tofu methi paratha

Step 21: Once sealed press down the tofu methi paratha with your palms to release any air pockets

Step 22: And give it a gentle roll with the pin to even it out

Step 23: Proceed the same way with the remaining paratha dough and filling portions

Step 24: Now we will get into the final steps of cooking a tofu methi paratha, preheat a skillet on medium heat and place the filled dough

Step 25: Allow it to cook on medium heat for about 30 to 45 seconds and flip over

Step 26: Add this stage add a teaspoon of ghee or oil and spread it around the tofu methi paratha

Step 27: Flip again, so the oiled side of the tofu methi paratha can cook on the skillet

Step 28: Spread a little more ghee and keep pressing the tofu methi paratha while on the skillet to cook the paratha evenly from inside out

Step 29: Do the flipping over process a couple of times until both sides get cooked, browned and crisp evenly

Step 30: Make sure you cook on medium heat as it allows the tofu methi paratha to get a crisp on the outside and yet have soft texture

Step 31: Once the tofu methi paratha is cooked transfer it to a plate and serve

Step 32: Serve the Tofu Methi Paratha Recipe along with a Tomato Onion Cucumber Raita Recipe and Pisarna Manga Recipe  for breakfast, lunch or dinner
