Soya Granules Parata

Yesterday I made this Soya Granules Parata and it tasted really good. The big idea was to make some low carb, high protein food. First I cooked the Soya Granules and stir fried it along with onions and spices to give it a nice flavor. Then I stuffed it in paratas and served it with yogurt. It was a good experiment and everyone liked it!




Ingredients:-

For cooking the Soya Granules:-
Soya Granules- 2 cups
Water- 5 cups

For frying the Soya Granules:-
Oil- 2 Tbsp
Onion- 1
Ginger-garlic paste- 2 Tsp
Chilli powder- 1 1/2 Tsp
Masala Powder- 2 Tsp
Salt- to taste

For parata dough:-
Whole wheat flour- 3 cups
Salt- to taste
Water- as needed for mixing dough

Procedure:-
1. Add 5 cups water to a sauce pan and bring it to a boil. Boil for about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the heat off and add Soya granules, mix and leave for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, drain and set aside.

2. To a hot frying pan add oil and chopped onion. Let the onion cook for a few minutes and add ginger-garlic paste. Cook for a couple more minutes and add chilli powder, masala powder and salt. Cook for a minute and now add Soya granules. Stir fry for 4 to 5 minutes and keep aside.

3. Now it is time to make paratas with the stuffing. Take a lemon size ball of dough and flatten it to the size of your palm. Take 2 Tsp of the stuffing and put it in the center of the dough. Close the dough from all sides so that the stuffing is not visible. Take some dry flour and dip the stuffed ball on both sides. Now roll the ball into a parata.

4. On a heated pan, roast the parata from both sides and add a little oil.

Serve hot along with yogurt.
