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.
