Tofu Paratha | How To Make Tofu Paratha
Ingredient 8-10 Paratha
For Dough
2 Cup whole wheat flour
1 Tsp salt
1 Tsp oil
Water to knead the dough
For Filling
200 Gram Tofu
1 Medium size onion finely chopped
1 Tsp cumin seed
A handful green coriander finely chopped
1 Tsp grated ginger
1 Tsp kitchen king masala powder
½ red chili powder
Salt as per taste
Oil for making paratha
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.
- Now drain all the water from tofu and grate it. Use paper towels to absorb all the water grated tofu have. It should be dry else tofu will come out of the dough while rolling.
- Add chopped onion, green coriander, chili, and all dry spices. Mix nicely and tofu filling is ready.
- 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 tbsp 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.
- Tofu paratha is ready to serve hot with curd or pickle or any chutney.
Note
- Make sure tofu is dry and you are draining its water. Rolling out paratha will be difficult if any water content left.
- It is possible that filling comes out while rolling, no worries just seal it and proceed.

The stuffed parathas look so filling and fantastic. Tofu is yet another ingredient we couldn't get used to. Though this is a fantastic source of protein, it surely is an acquired taste..making it as parathas is a great way to include in the diet.
