Stuffed Parathas ( Diabetic Recipe )

Rotis and parathas are an inseparable part of the quintessential indian meal! here is one with a difference – whole wheat parathas that are stuffed with a mixture of tofu and green peas. Healthy to the core, this indian bread is absolutely delicious and filling. Parathas are usually made with maida, but this healthier version is made with fibrous, nutrient-rich whole wheat flour. I have used yeast to soften the parathas and to bring about the same texture as in the maida version. Yeast needs to be handled smartly, else it will back-fire. So, follow the method correctly and use just warm water; if too hot, the yeast will not leaven. Yeast requires sugar to grow, so i have added a little bit. You can have these parathas plain or with a stuffing of your choice…feel free to experiment.
