TOFU PARATHA



Here's you what you need to make these parathas - Tofu, onions, green chilli, ginger, garlic, turmeric and of course chapathi dough.

You can use any kind of tofu, it does'nt have
to be firm or extra firm coz any how you
are gonna crumble it, so regular tofu would
also be fine.


     Grate the tofu and squeeze out the extra
              water again as you could.               
After opening it drain the water in the pack to a container you can use the water to make the chapathi dough and squeeze out as much water as you could, that will cut down your cooking time.


          
            
             Add some oil(any kind) Saute the onions till it becomes translucent.

    Add the ginger garlic paste and green chillis, saute it for about 1 to 2 mins and then add the grated                                                                 tofu and turmeric powder.






Cook it till the moisture is completely gone, this is where it tests your patience, takes at least 8 to 9 mins for it to become dry, keep sauteing it or else it will burn quickly or the texture would turn out to be too rubbery, so be careful to not to make it very dry. Once its done cool  down the stuffing till it comes to room temperature.









Divide the chapathi dough into equal portions and the mixture as well, depending on the number of dough balls you have got, make sure the mixture portion is of the same size as the chapathi dough, coz if its more the stuffing would come out wile rolling the parathas.
Mould the dough ball into a bowl shape and stuff it with the mixture, seal it and make it into a ball again.



                                                                                   


Roll it out like this and cook it for about 1 to 1.5 mins on each side.
