Soya chunks paratha is also known as Soya kheema paratha. Originally kheema paratha is an unleavened flatbread stuffed with spicy minced meat. Instead of meat, I used spicy soya chunks filling in paratha. Soya kheema paratha or veg kheema paratha is very tasty, high in nutritional values and a popular Indian breakfast.
Soya kheema paratha is a protein-rich breakfast and great for kids lunchbox tiffins. Stuff parathas make a great meal with dip, curries or just simple curd is enough. Make sure that dough is soft and smooth, and filling is an equal amount of the dough ball. This is the best way to make great stuff parathas.

To make this soya kheema paratha first I simply grind the soya chunks which gives a coarse powder. Do not over grind, few pulses are enough to get a coarse powder. Temper with chopped onion, kasoori methi and few spices. Adding soya coarse powder with some water cook for few mins and soya kheema filling is ready to stuff.

For Dough
2 Cup whole wheat flour
2 Tblsp flax seed powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 Tblsp oil
Water to knead the dough
For filling
2 Cup soya chunks
1 Cup chopped onion
1 Green chili chopped finely

1 teaspoon red chili flakes
¼ Cup chopped green coriander
1 Tblsp garlic
A pinch of asafoetida
1 Tblsp grated ginger
1 Cup water
2 Tblsp oil
Oil for cooking
Method
- First of all, combine all ingredients listed for the dough in a mixing bowl. Knead a soft dough and keep it aside until filling is ready. Cover it with any lid or plate.
- Add soya chunks in a grinding jar and pulse for 3-4 seconds. You will get a coarse powder. Do not over grind it to get a smooth fine powder.
- Heat oil in a non-stick pan on medium flame and add oil. Once the oil is hot add cumin seed, let them crackle.
- To this add grated ginger, garlic, and chopped green chilies. Stir it until garlic is golden brown in color.
- In addition to this now add asafoetida and chopped onion. Cook it until onion turns to golden brown. This takes 3-4 minute.
- When the onion is golden brown add kasoori methi, red chili flakes, and kitchen king masala. Mix nicely.
- Finally, add soya chunk's coarse powder and give a nice stir. Add 1 cup of water and salt as per taste. Mix nicely and cook for 2-3 minutes on low flame by covering lid.
- After 3 minutes add chopped green coriander and mix. Soya kheema filling is ready to stuff now. Spread it on a plate to cool down. The filling should be at room temperature.
- Heat the griddle on medium flame.
- Divide dough and stuffing into equal parts. With this quantity, I made 8 big parathas.
- Roll out a circle of about 3″ in diameter. Place 3-4 tablespoon stuffing and gently close it. Roll this around 6-8″ diameter circle.
- Place it on the griddle. After a few seconds flip it to another side.
- Apply oil and cook from both sides until golden brown. Repeat the same process with the rest of the dough balls.
- Soya kheema paratha or soya chunks paratha is ready to serve hot with curd or pickle or any chutney.
Note
- This soya chunk paratha tastes great when served hot.
- Be careful while making a coarse powder. You can also use soya granules to make this paratha.
- Adjust chilies as per taste. This quantity was good enough as my son didn't complain about it. he does not like chilies in his food.
- While rolling soya filling can come out, just seal it and proceed.
