Broccoli Tofu stuffed paratha (Stuffed flatbread)

This is one delicious dose of health! Broccoli, tofu, whole wheat flour.. What more can you ask for in a meal? :) And good news is, my broccoli-averse  hub loves this! And everyone would! Its just so yummy! I usually make the stuffing in advance and making parathas in the morning is quick.

The thing with parathas is I can never go by a set quantity of ingredients. Just mix some amount of basic ingredient (broccoli and tofu), adjust seasonings as per taste. Ended up making more stuffing, great! Reuse it to make grilled sandwiches with cheese. :) Less stuffing = plain chapatis. :) So, there are no quantities specified in the ingredient list.

What you need :

Dough:

Wheat flour

Water

Ajwain seeds (Carom seeds) - optional

Stuffing:

Broccoli

Tofu - mashed 

Ginger

Garlic

Green chillies

Cumin powder

Pepper powder

Cilantro - finely chopped

Garam masala, a pinch - optional

Salt

Method:

1. Make a soft dough by mixing flour and water. Almost double the amount of water to flour. Mix in some crushed carom seeds if you like the flavor. You could add other ingredients to the flour like salt, oil, seasoning. But I just used flour, water and carom seeds.

2. Knead the dough well. Apply about half a teaspoon of oil to the dough and keep it covered for about 15 mins. Knead again and your dough is ready.

3. For the stuffing : Pulse Broccoli + green chilly+ ginger + garlic in a food processor till its coarsely powdered. Alternatively you could grate broccoli and mix in ginger garlic chilly paste. Microwave this mixture for 3 - 5 mins till the raw smell goes away.

4. Mix in the crumbled tofu, spices, finely chopped cilantro, salt and mix well. Adjust seasoning.

5. Make parathas by stuffing the broccoli mixture in the dough.

6. Roast with few drops of oil.

7. Serve hot with raita! YUM! :)
