To make aloo methi tofu paratha, first make the dough. For stuffing, heat the oil in a broad non-stick pan and add the cumin seeds. When the seeds crackle, add the fenugreek leaves and sauté on a medium flame for 2 minutes. Add the ginger-green chilli paste, turmeric powder, coriander powder, chaat masala and salt and sauté on a medium flame for a few seconds.

While the veggies are the highlight of the stuffing, common but effective ingredients such as ginger-green chilli paste, turmeric powder, coriander powder and chaat masala make the whole wheat methi and tofu paratha truly irresistible. Fresh curd and a pickle is all you need to square up a satiating meal.
