Ingredients
4
1 cup Soya granules
Salt as per taste
1 tablespoon Oil
1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
1 tablespoon Ginger
2 pieces Green chillies
1 piece Onion
1 tablespoon Red chilli powder
1 tablespoon Coriander powder
1 teaspoon Jeera powder
1 teaspoon Anardana powder
1 teaspoon Amchur powder
1 teaspoon Garam masala
1 teaspoon Kasuri methi
1 tablespoon Fresh coriander
1 tablespoon Fresh mint leaves
2 cups Wheat flour
1 teaspoon Ajwain
Water as per needed
Tips
Ensure the dough is soft but not sticky to make it easier to roll.
Do not overfill the paratha to avoid breaking during rolling.
You can add a pinch of turmeric powder to the filling for extra flavor and color.
For a healthier version, use whole wheat flour and reduce the amount of ghee.
Directions
In boiling water, cook 1 cup of soya granules for 2-3 minutes. Add salt to taste.
Strain the cooked granules, rinse thoroughly with cold water, and squeeze out the excess water.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok, add 1 tsp cumin seeds, and allow them to splutter. Add 1 tbsp julienned ginger and 1-2 chopped green chillies, and sauté for a minute.
Add 1 medium-sized chopped onion and cook until translucent.
Add 1 tbsp red chilli powder, 1 tbsp coriander powder, 1 tsp jeera powder, 1 tsp anardana powder, 1 tsp amchur powder, 1 tsp garam masala, and 1 tsp kasuri methi. Sauté for a minute.
Add the soaked soya granules, mix well, and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Finally, add 1 tbsp each of freshly chopped coriander and mint leaves. Mix well and allow the mixture to cool.
In a bowl, mix 2 cups of wheat flour with 1 tsp ajwain and salt to taste. Gradually add water to knead a semi-soft dough. Apply oil to prevent it from drying, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Divide the dough into small equal balls. Coat each with dry flour and flatten it with your hands.
Make a cavity in the center of each dough ball, keeping the center thicker. Fill with a spoonful of the soya mixture, taking care not to overfill.
Seal the dough by joining the sides together. Coat with dry flour and roll into a thick paratha using a rolling pin.
Cook the paratha on a hot pan or tawa on both sides until brown spots appear. Apply ghee, flip, and cook until evenly browned.
Serve the hot soya kheema parathas topped with a blob of butter, alongside chilled curd or your preferred chutney.
Notes
Individuals with soy allergies or thyroid issues should avoid soya kheema.
Those with gluten intolerance should substitute wheat flour with a gluten-free alternative.
