Week #6 of 52 weeks of 52 recipes

Looks like nobody even took a chance to guess. Come on, everyone, you gotta try, no???
Alright, since, there are no dedications this week from any guesses, I'd like to throw the spotlight on my mom who is just a phenomenal cook. She can detect if something needs salt just by its smell. She takes pride in her cooking and while she mainly specializes in South Indian cooking, she does it to perfection. So, here's to you Amma....

Week #6 which is still in theme with the 10 minute, all-in, lunch box meal is the Tofu-Flax-carrot Parathas- which are just Indian style bread, but fairly easy to make without any baking needed. In the US, we get ground flax seed (meal). It's got so much of Omega 3s and is deemed as a super seed. The silken(liquid) tofu is such an easy way to add protein to this bread as it doesnt even have much taste. I dont know if you get it in India, but here in US, its so easily available. Lastly, you could add any grated vegetable you want, I liked the color that carrot added to this dish... Prepare it and let me know what you all think!!!

Tofu Flax Carrot Parathas(Bread)

Ingredients :

1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon whole wheat flour
1/4 cup flax meal ( you could decrease this and add whole wheat flour instead)
1/4 cup silken tofu
2 tablespoons grated carrot
1 teaspoon salt and pepper
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon oil

Method:
Mix all the above ingredients except the water and flour. Knead all the ingredients for 1 min. If it needs some water to form a ball, use the tablespoonof water. It should be smooth and come together like this.

Cover it and leave it for about 3-4 minutes. Heat a griddle.Spray surface and hands with flour and form small round balls. Flatten them out with a rolling pin. It doesnt need to be too thin. Cook the rolled out bread for 1 min on each side and add drops of oil when cooking in high heat.

Wrap them in Aluminium foil and Voila, they are ready to be packed for school. They can be eaten as is or with some plain yoghurt. Enjoy!!
