IndulgeAshscorner: Tofu Aloo Paratha- Tofu Potato Flat bread

Hello dearies, I am back today with another new find that my family has started liking. My kids love love aloo parathas which I am struggling to make using real potatoes. So I use substitute like the mashed potato powder which is glutten free and safe for kids with allergies. Although we have no such allergies, glutten free is what attracted me towards it and I brought the box home. Ever since I found this powder, my aloo parathas are a quick and breeze. But again my guilt kept haunting me of using a short cut and using potatoes only. Then I brought tofu thinking since everyone says so many good things about it, it might be as easy as 1 2 3 to get my kids to like it. HA HA..if only things were this easy, my kids refused to even look at it... I then garted the tofu and added it to the dry potato powder, used a bit of my green chutney to wet the mixture and made small balls of the mixture and stuffed in the parathas. They did not even realize that they are actually eating tofu and ate way too many parathas. Happy mom was I that day!!!
