Frequently asked questions
Can I taste the tofu?
No. Once it is blended into the dough it disappears completely, leaving behind extra protein and a softer roti.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes. Store cooked rotis in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months with parchment between each one.
Can I use dairy free yogurt?
Yes. A thick, unsweetened dairy free yogurt works well.
Do I need a blender?
A small blender or food processor is ideal. In a pinch, mash the tofu through a fine sieve, but expect a slightly denser roti.
Is this good for weight loss?
More protein helps with fullness and helps protect muscle while you are in a calorie deficit. Pair these rotis with dal, legumes, or a lean protein and a big pile of vegetables and you have a balanced plate.
Want the whole system, not just the recipe?
