Chana dal and Soya Paratha

When I was making Puran Poli, I thought why not to make a spicy version of this stuffing. So out goes jaggery and in went soya granules. This is a protein rich, highly nutritious paratha. I made it very mildly spiced and my LO(little one) enjoyed eating it(though it was in bits n pieces :-) ). Hope you try this at home. 
Happy cooking...




Ingredients:

For stuffing

Chana dal - 150 gms
Soya chunks/granules - 1 cup
Red chili powder - 1 tsp
Garam masala - 1 tsp
Salt as per taste
Coriander leaves - 2 tbsp
Oil - 1 tbsp

For the dough

Whole wheat flour - 2 cups
Salt to taste
Water as required

Method:



In a mixer add the soaked chana and soya chunks and grind it. 



In a kadhai/pan heat oil. Add the grind mixture and on  a low heat saute for 5 minutes. 


Add the spices and mix well and cook for another 2 minutes. 



Add coriander leaves and mix well, keep aside. 


Flat the dough a little and put the stuffing in it and close and seal the edges. Dust some flour and roll out into a paratha. 

                               

Heat a tawa and cook paratha until done on both sides. 



For the dough, mix all the ingredients and knead into a soft dough. Rest it for about half hour.
Wash and soak chana dal for 2 hours. Cook the dal for 1 whistle.
Take the soya chunks in a big bowl and add about 1 litre of hot water along with 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Boil the chunks for about 10 mins. If you have microwave, you can cook in oven for 5 minutes so that the soya chunks will be cooked and it is soft. 
Now in a mixer add the soaked chana and soya chunks and grind it. 
In a kadhai/pan heat oil. Add the grind mixture and on  a low heat saute for 5 minutes. Now add the spices and mix well and cook for another 2 minutes. Add coriander leaves and mix well, keep aside. 
Now divide the dough into 6-8 parts. Divide the stuffing into 6-8 portions as well. 
Flat the dough a little and put the stuffing in it and close and seal the edges. Dust some flour and roll out into chapati. Heat a tawa and cook paratha until done on both sides. Remove. Serve hot.
