Phodnicha Methi Paratha/Roti with crumbled Tofu - A quick Breakfast delight.

Today Morning I was to cook something for husbands tiffin and breakfast. I had two left over Methi Parathas which were turned a bit dry because I did not pack them neatly in cling wrap. I thought about phodnichi Poli , a typical Maharashtrian delight which is made with left over rotis. Also Gujarati people have similar recipe called Vaghareli Roti, so based on these recipes I made this quick stir-fry of left over methi roti/paratha. I added some scrambled tofu and garnished it with fresh mint and parsley. I packed some for husbands lunch tiffin and rest enjoyed  as my breakfast  with aromatic cardamom+nutmeg infused coffee.Ending this recipe post with today morning's pleasing sunrise moment while driving.

Ingredients :-

• 2  Methi Paratha (8 inch diameter) - break into one inch pieces.
• 1 Medium size onion - cut half lengthwise and rest half chop finely.
• 1 Cup extra Firm Tofu - crumbled  (I used Azumaya Extra Firm)
• 1.5 Tb.spoon cooking oil
• 2 Green chilies - finely chopped
• 1/2 Cup frozen green peas
• 1/4 T.spoon sugar
• 1/2 cup chopped cilantro or your choice of fresh herbs

Cooking Process :-

1. Heat oil in  a medium size heavy gauge skillet / saute pan / Kadhai. Add chopped onions, stir fry on medium high heat for 4-5 minutes. Add green chilies and little chopped fresh cilantro ( My cilantro was out of stock so I used mint and  garnished with pot grown parsley).
2. Add Paratha pieces and mix well with onions. Reduce heat to medium low. Keep stirring for 2 minutes. Now add crumbled tofu, little salt, sugar  and saute for another 2 minutes. If it sticks to bottom then sprinkle 1 teaspoon water.
3. Add Green peas. Mix well and allow it to cook for another 2-3 minutes on medium low heat, stir occasionally.  Sprinkle chopped cilantro and enjoy. You may top it with dollop of sour cream or yogurt.

Note:- You may enhance this dish by using few other veggies like carrots, boiled potato pieces, cabbage,red radish, green beans, Lima beans.  Also you can  replace Tofu with scrambled eggs.
