Parathas are a wonderful staple in every Indian household, complementing nearly every meal, whether in the morning with homemade yogurt or during lunch with a bowl of curry. Today, I am sharing a high-protein and very delicious tofu paratha recipe. It’s packed with crumbled tofu and Indian spices. I’ve combined whole wheat flour, crumbled tofu, and spices to form a dough, then rolled them into parathas and then cooked them. You can also make stuffed parathas with crumbled tofu, similar to how paneer parathas, and aloo parathas are prepared. Just fill the dough with the seasoned tofu mixture before rolling and cooking.

Ingredients for Tofu Paratha Recipe
Wheat flour: I used whole wheat flour. You can also use multigrain flour as well. Tofu: Use organic extra-firm tofu. Press the tofu with a heavy weight for 20 minutes to remove excess moisture, then crumble it. Spices: I used cumin seeds, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and amchur powder. Coriander leaves: Use fresh coriander, finely chopped.
How to Make Tofu Paratha
In a bowl, combine wheat flour, crumbled tofu, cumin seeds, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, amchur powder, chopped coriander leaves, and salt. Mix well. Add some water and knead the mixture until you achieve a smooth, tight, and firm dough (not soft). Make balls from the dough; you should be able to get about 6 balls. Roll the balls into semi-thick/thin parathas by dusting them with some dry flour. Heat a tawa or skillet on medium heat. Place a paratha on the tawa and let it cook until you see bubbles forming. Flip it to the other side and drizzle some ghee or oil on top. Flip the paratha again and drizzle oil or ghee on the other side. Cook until both sides have nice golden spots. Serve Tofu paratha hot with curd, or pickle.
