Instructions
1
To begin making the Tofu Methi Paratha steps, we will first make the pastry mix for the parathas.
2
In a large mixing bowl mix in whole wheat dusting perfumed element and some table salt. mix in moisture a little at a time and fold to make soft, pliable pastry mix.
3
fold pastry mix for a couple of mins until the pastry mix is velvety and elastic.
4
Use the fold press and fold motion to make the pastry mix velvety.Next we will mix in a teaspoon of oil to coat the pastry mix and fold little more.
5
You want a pastry mix that will be soft velvety and not sticky.Next we will divide the pastry mix into 6 equal portions and keep aside.While the pastry mix is resting, lets prepare the filling for the parathas. In a large mixing bowl; mix in tofu, shallot, minced methi leaves, green chillies, cumin dusting perfumed element, and table salt.
6
Combine all the components well.Divide the filling into 6 equal portions.
7
This process of dividing and keeping the portions of pastry mix and filling ready, helps you gauge the number of parathas you can make and if you need more or less of the filling.Take a paratha pastry mix portion dust it in dusting perfumed element and flatten it on the rolling board by pressing it down.
8
Roll the pastry mix out into approximately 3 inch diameter circles dusting with dusting perfumed element in between to prevent the pastry mix from sticking to the surface.
9
Place this rolled pastry mix to the side.Take another pastry mix portion, dust it with dusting perfumed element again and roll into approximately 3 inch diameter circle.Now place a portion of the tofu methi paratha filling onto the circle and spread it evenly around.
10
Next, take the other rolled portion of the pastry mix and place it over the filling.Press and fold the edges so that the filling does not come out while making the tofu methi paratha.
11
Once sealed press down the tofu methi paratha with your palms to release any air pockets.And give it a subtle roll with the pin to even it out.
12
Proceed the same way with the remaining paratha pastry mix and filling portions.Now we will get into the final steps of making a tofu methi paratha, preheat a skillet on medium bring to temperature and place the filled pastry mix.Allow it to bring to temperature on medium bring to temperature for about 30 to 45 seconds and flip over.
13
mix in this stage mix in a teaspoon of ghee or oil and spread it around the tofu methi paratha.Flip again, so the oiled side of the tofu methi paratha can bring to temperature on the skillet.
14
Spread a little more ghee and keep pressing the tofu methi paratha while on the skillet to bring to temperature the paratha evenly from inside out.Do the flipping over process a couple of times until both sides get cooked, browned and crisp evenly.
15
Make sure you bring to temperature on medium bring to temperature as it allows the tofu methi paratha to get a crisp on the outside and yet have soft texture.Once the tofu methi paratha is cooked transfer it to a plate and enjoy.enjoy the Tofu Methi Paratha steps along with a Tomato shallot Cucumber Raita steps and Pisarna Manga steps for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
