Ingredients

- 1.5 tsp Salt or as per taste
- 1 leaf Fenugreek Leaves chopped
- 1 tsp Carom Seeds ajwain
- 1 tsp Turmeric Powder haldi
- 1 tsp Chili Powder red
- Water as per requirement
- 2 tsp Oil
- 1 cup Soy Granules 1 cup, soy granules
- 3 Eggs
- 3 Onion finely chopped medium size
- 1 tsp Curry Powder
- 1 Chilli chopped, green
- 1 Potato boiled and peeled big
- 1 leaf Coriander chopped, dhania
- 1 tsp Pepper black
- 1 tsp Ginger Garlic Paste
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- Mix together the whole wheat flour, salt, methi leaves, ajwain, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and oil. Gradually add water, mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms. Knead well for 5-7 minutes.
Prepare the Filling
- Boil the soy granules in water for about 5 minutes, then drain and rinse with cold water to remove excess moisture. Squeeze out any remaining water.
- In a pan, heat oil or ghee. Saute the onions, green chilies, and ginger-garlic paste until fragrant. Add the curry powder and black pepper. Cook for a minute. Add the boiled and mashed potato and cook for a minute more. Stir in the cooked soy granules and chopped coriander. Cook for another minute until heated through.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs lightly. Gently fold the eggs into the soy mixture.
Assemble and Cook the Parathas
- Roll small portions of the dough into thin circles. Place a spoonful of the soy-egg filling onto the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Gently press the edges to seal.
- Heat a flat griddle or pan. Cook the parathas over medium heat, flipping halfway until golden brown and cooked through. Lightly brush with ghee or oil for added flavor and crispness.
Serve and Enjoy
- Serve these delicious pocket parathas hot with your favorite chutney, yogurt, or pickle.

- Ensure the dough is soft and pliable for easy rolling and shaping.
- Don't overcrowd the pan while cooking the parathas, allowing for even browning.
