Soya Mince Paratha for Protein rich breakfast

Soya Mince paratha

Soyabean is often referred as Veg meat in our house. Mom used to cook the large chunks with large pieces of potatoes to make them taste exactly like meat. Taking that further, soyabean started getting available in granules and she converted it to taste like mutton kheema cooked with green peas and potatoes.

Believe me Soyabean rocks in whichever format you would like to eat it. I love the spicy Soya chunks pulao the most.

In the run for Innovative and different parathas, I thought of using the soya mince to make a veggie kheema paratha. So basically, a soyabean mince paratha.

Here is my attempt of making a paratha filling out of this.
