Tofu (soya bean curd) is available in different textures - extra firm, firm, soft and silken. The silken type is the softest one and can easily be incorporated into flour to make this paratha.
I noticed that the marble board you were rolling the paratha on turned as you were rolling, so you didn’t have to pick up and turn the paratha by hand. Is the rolling board supposed to do that, and where can I get one?
Hi Hetal & Anuja,thx for sharing a wonderful reciepe…….i always watch ur videos and have learned alot…….
Now i live in london and i tried to find tofu but i couldn’t get it……does it call by any other name??????/plz let me know what should i do?
Hi Hetal and Anuja, This looks really yummy! I am certainly going to try and make it. BTW, I know you said use any pickle masala, but which one are you using in the video? Let me know. Thanks again for sharing this with us, and thanks to you friend who shared the recipe with you!
hi hetal and anuja
the parathas look gr8 is there any other thing we can put instead of pickel masala thanks i enjoy watching and trying out the new dishes
Pickle masala saves a couple of extra step like adding in other spices. You can, however, add your own spices….cumin powder, coriander powder, dry mango powder, red chili powder, etc.
hi, hetal and anuja!! thanks for wonderful recipes..!! i tried this paratha..came out nice!! but altered pickle step as for me it becomes more spicy but instead i used garlic chutney(in gujarati v call lasan no masalo..hope hetal knows well) and it turned out very nice!!! thanks again.

Hi mbhatt18,
i also live in UK and u can find silken tofu from Tesco Extra superstores; product company name is Blue Dragon Silken Style Tofu , hope this information is useful to you.
Cheers!!
The thing they used is called a chakla (atleast in punjabi, I know that’s what it’s called). U can buy it at an indian store. It made for making roti. No all of them spin.
But u r rite, a lazy susan type of mechanism can also be used.

We were using a “lazy susan” which turns. You can find it at Bed Bath & Beyond or Linens n Things.

Tofu is sometimes called soya bean curd.

I’m sure there will be more places where they sell tofu, but try Sainsbury’s, I always bought it there when I lived in UK

We actually used a homemade one but any one will do. We especially like the sour mango pickle - nice tanginess!

lol, i wasn’t paying attention in the beginning in the video and thought i heard “I’m a ninja.”

I like the sly way you added the tofu in, nice & healthy addition!
May 22nd, 2009 at 12:41 am
don’t we havy to cook the tofu before we make the roti doe?
May 22nd, 2009 at 11:47 am
No, the tofu does not need to be cooked. It will get cooked on the tawa with the dough.
October 23rd, 2009 at 3:59 pm
That is a great idea - using a lazy susan/turning plate thing to roll out the breads. I will try that!
