Heat a tawa and roast the paratha until golden on both sides. Once it is off the tawa, add ghee or olive oil for a crisp finish.

Prepare the soya mix in advance. You can refrigerate it for 3 days; just roll and roast fresh parathas as needed.

For added nutrition, add 1 tsp flaxseed or chia powder into the dough for extra omega-3 and fibre. Clean eating never tasted so good!
