BM #116 Day 11 -
I start this week and shall post mini thalis featuring a new flatbread each day.
Today's flatbread is a Vegan Kheema Paratha. The filling is made out of soy granules. With spices and onions, the filling is delicious by itself. Filling it in a paratha is definitely a step up in flavor.
Featured in this Flatbread Thali are - Rice, Veg Pulao, Chikkudukaya koora, Methi Dal, Mamidikaya Menthibaddalu, Yogurt, Vegan Kheema Paratha, Shakkarpare and Brownies.
Here is a recap for the past 2 weeks..

Recipe Source here
Ingredients -
Wheat Flour 1 1/2 cups
Salt as needed
Water to knead the dough
For the Filling -
Oil 1 tsp
Soy Granules (TVP) 3/4 cup
Onions, finely chopped 2 Tbsp
Ginger-Garlic paste 1 tsp
Salt, Turmeric, Red Chili Powder, Garam Masala as needed
Coriander Powder 1/2 tsp
Cumin Powder 1/2 tsp
Ajwain coarsely crushed
Method Of Preparation -
Prepare the filling -
Boil about 2 cups of water and add the soy granules. Remove from heat and allow the granules to soften. After about 10 minutes, drain all the water by squeezing the granules and set aside.
In a heated pan, add oil and ginger-garlic paste. Add onions and saute until golden brown. Add the soy granules and stir well for about 2-3 minutes and allow the granules to cook well.
Sprinkle salt, turmeric, red chili powder, garam masala, coriander powder, cumin powder and coarsely crushed ajwain. Mix well and allow the flavors to blend in.
Cover and remove from heat. Allow it to cool.
To make the Parathas -
Knead the chapati dough with the whole wheat flour and salt with as much water as needed. Keep it covered for about 10-15 min.
Make 6 equal portions of the dough.
Roll out each of the portion into small chapatis, fill in a tablespoon of the soy granule mixture, close the edges and roll out the parathas taking care that the mixture doesn't fall out.
Shallow fry on a griddle/tawa until both the sides are done spraying as much oil as needed. Repeat the procedure for all the parathas.
Enjoy with Yogurt and/or any pickle.

This thali is surely not a mini one Harini. Very interesting dishes on the platter...the soya paratha is a good option for protein..
The Thali look awesome, with an array of dishes, and the keema paratha is a good source of protein, perfectly cooked to be served.
Super Thali
To be honest, I don't bother to cook this many dishes when I make rotis and I didn't even realize that I had to make somewhat a platter for the flat bread theme. :) Your whole meal looks very inviting and particularly those nutritious soya parathas. Even plain old yogurt would do on a lazy day to go with these spicy parathas.
Your plate is overflowing and you have to add two more plates to showcase your thali and you call it mini thali, Harini? :-)). Love all the dishes there, it’s quite a treat and perfect for South Indians where you have the elements of North and South combined.
Whole thali looks so inviting and I am confused from where i need to start. Veg keema paratha looks so soft and delicious.
Such a protein-rich paratha and definitely I am getting a lot of ideas for flatbreads from you all. Love that entire spread with rice and sides. So yum and filling.
Interesting way to add soya granules to the diet. Liked it completely, healthy share
