Have you tried swapping paneer for tofu in your parathas? In this heartfelt video, Aarti AtmaRam Recipes introduces a delicious, vegan twist on the classic stuffed paratha—perfect for gym-goers, vegans, and anyone seeking a protein-rich start to their day.
💪 Why Choose Tofu Paratha?
Table of Contents
- ✅ High Protein: Tofu, made from soybeans, is a powerhouse of plant-based protein.
- ✅ Vegan & Dairy-Free: Ideal for those avoiding milk, paneer, or ghee.
- ✅ Digestive-Friendly: Ajwain (carom seeds) in the dough aids digestion.
- ✅ Customizable: Fry in oil or ghee depending on dietary preference.
🧄 Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Dough:
- 2 cups wheat flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp ajwain (crushed)
- Water (as needed)
- 1 tsp oil
For the Stuffing:
- 400g tofu (boiled and grated)
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- ½ tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp dry mango powder
- 1 tsp ginger paste
- Green chilli (to taste)
- Salt (adjusted)
- Fresh coriander leaves
🔥 Step-by-Step Method
- Knead the Dough Mix flour, salt, and ajwain. Add water gradually to form a soft dough. Finish with a spoon of oil for softness. Let it rest for 15–20 minutes.
- Prepare the Tofu Stuffing Boil tofu briefly to clean it. Grate and mix with spices, herbs, and salt. Press gently to blend flavors.
- Stuff & Roll the Paratha Take a dough ball, shape into a bowl, and fill with tofu mix. Roll gently to spread evenly.
- Cook to Perfection Heat a pan, apply oil or ghee, and cook until golden. Note: Tofu stuffing is dry, so parathas may not puff—but they’ll be incredibly tasty.
